Well I woke up this morning to find a 2 month old heifer lying dead by a round bale feeder. Which brings me to my question, what should be done with the cow if anything? I could bring her up by the house and try to see about milking her out or do I just let nature take its course and she'll dry up on her own? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Let nature take its course but keep a close eye on her my grandpa used to skin the calf back and put it on another calf that wasn't getting anough milk or bought a Holstein steer I know there is stuff that u put on the cows nose and tricks the calf

Do you know the cause of death? Sounds as though it may have been trampled, in which case it is your fault, not the cow's.
If it was the cow's fault sell her.
