In Reply to: Dead Calf posted by John in Md on June 08, 2013 at 15:54:28:
Once when I was a teenager, we had a calf die unexpectedly. My Dad and I wanted to know why, so we cut the calf open to see if we could come up with a reason. It was obvious that something had gone wrong with the calf"s intestine, and when we cut open the area that looked blocked, we found a piece of plastic wrap the calf apparently ate.
I think the Vet wanted a couple of hundred dollars to do the autopsy on the calf, and Dad didn"t think it was worth that much. So we did it.
If I was going to do a post on ANY dead animal today, I would be a whole lot more careful. We didn"t even use gloves. We were very lucky that the calf had not died of something that WE might have caught. Scares me to think about it!
We had another small calf die onetime that had been stepped on, but that was pretty obvious.
Sorry you lost your calf. A Vet could probably tell you why it died, but I doubt that they would only charge $200, since that was probably 45 years ago. Good luck!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
