This group calved last year with very few problems. Boy, are they making up for it now. We've had no winter to stress them and they're being fed better than they deserve. I've had two calve and walk away from their newborn. One offered her 2 week old calf up as a sacrifice to the coyote gods. 4 aborted sometime after preg check. One stepped on her calf and broke it's leg and another is headed to town because she can't milk enough to keep her calf from starving. I'm looking at a 25% drop out on my 3 year olds. Mercy-that's an expensive deal..3 years old, 1 calf and headed to town. :cry2:
