Went to check cows late yesterday afternoon, and found a dead calf that was born a couple of days ago. It was fine when I checked them yesterday morning . The calf was with another cow and calf, and I noticed that it tried to nurse the other cow a few times, and she would push it away. I am wondering if that cow could have kicked or butted the calf hard enough to kill it. The calf's mama has been bawling constantly, and following me around all over the pasture. I'd like to have another calf to put on her, but sure hate going through the trouble. Dammit, I hate losing one.

Yeah, I hate losing one too.
Sorry you did.
Most I've seen like that were stepped on. Who knows if it was on purpose or not.

Maybe her teats aren't open and the calf was hungry?
Always drink upstream from the herd...cowdoc...

Of course, I can't say for certain that that wasn't the case. Things like this happen sometimes with no explanation.
