Unfortunately when you raise livestock there is loss. A calf in the feedlot died last night so we wanted to find out why. Finding out the reason of the death could help us prevent more deaths.
Hannah has performed autopsies before so she helped Clay do one on this calf.

They started with the esophagus making sure there wasn't an obstruction or sign of injury or damaged tissue. It looked fine.
They checked out the lungs. They had a little discoloration and peculiar feel. Possibly pneumonia or other respiratory problem.
The heart appeared healthy. Hannah seemed a little too happy to have that heart in her hands. haha
The liver showed some discoloration. Hannah and Clay will look up possible reasons for this.
I don't know about these two.
