Had one of my better cows die yesterday. Middle age cow, bred with her fifth calf, didn't think she was due for another month or so. Showed no signs of being sick. Only visible sign of anything out of the ordinary was a little blood coming out of her rear end, which leads me to wonder if it could have been something calf related.

I hate to lose a cow, as it's money down the drain. I know it's part of it, but I always find myself second guessing if I had missed something, or should have done something different.
