Last year calves were good, no problems and actually have two steers in the barn our children will show this year. This year, of 7 calves born to date, I have lost 4. Having pulled the most recent one and found him attempting to breath before delivery, we started asking questions in regard to the cord. Other than the summer heat, I began asking why the cows would cease contractions before delivery was complete. I am waiting on blood test results on two that have been drawn.
Cows are on jig grass and mineral blocks.
I need information or guidance. Have searched the internet but don't have enough knowledge in regard to this issue to look in the right area. Please help me find the direction to go.
