    According to this article, not very common at all. Odds are about 105,000 to one.

    stomach pump- put a tube down her throat and give her about 50litres of warm water mixed with either chanatol or high energy powders. pricey piece of equip cost 350- i try to do every cow that calves- stops her getting a negative energy balance-where she cant eat properly and get the nutrients out of the food
