9 month old calves.... i really didnt think they'd have time to calf again in season. I was surprised..

The more i type about it i get more confused too....lol.. May to August... but then in Nov we put out a few extra bulls to get the cows out of sequence for a couple months, but that ended up being just a handful of cows that calved late last season... a few actually had a calf before we weaned...

We put them out in May and bring them in in august. This last fall, there were some open ones with calves. Then we thought, why not put bulls in to clean up the ones who didnt get bred because they calved late and we'll sell this this summer as bred cows. So we put some bulls out, mainly to...

He had a wand insert. We had some cows calve out of season, reasons went back to snowmaggeden with cows losing calves and such. Anyhoot, 19 calved out of season. We just weaned 19 calves. But we also put bulls in these herds to catch any open cows last Nov.. 16 of the off season were bred, 2 are...

Met a guy who sonogram preg test. Nice fella. Had 25, accumulations of all our herds pulled when we wormed and vaccinated. 5 open out of 300 cows. The others were off season due to the bad winters and summer but raised a calf that was just weaned. This was sure easier than hauling them somewhere.

The biggest tip off with twins is if the cow retains her afterbirth. So, if you have a cow who did, she either had her calf prematurely, or, there was a twin.

I'm guessing most people just find the animals dead or gone. If you only check your herds on weekends, most of what i find would be long gone, especially a calf.

I know this has happened before but dont really recall the details. I know it was another massive bull calf. I named him Lackluster, he just seemed to not care about life. Just laid on his side. This was during a ice storm where i had many calves with problems, from limbs falling on their head...

He's a massive calf. I'm going to guess he hiplocked, she stood up and then laid on top of him damaging something. He advanced like it was an injury.

A week and a half ago, cow calved late in the afternoon. Things seemed ok. When i went back to check cows in this pasture, calf was exactly how i saw him the day before. We nabbed the calf and brought it to the house to inspect it. All legs worked, He though, could not put his front legs under...

If a cow has twins, she rarely sheds the afterbirth afterwards. It sometimes takes days. If i find a cow with a retained afterbirth, i know she either had her calf prematurely or had twins. Twins most times will have weird looking legs. Being all crammed in with another calf, sometimes at least...

This is what confuses me. I was told here not to raise our own heifers because i'd make more money picking up a bred cow at the sale barn and keeping her for 3 calves. I 'never' sell a good bred cow. If i do sell a bred cow there is something wrong with her from giving no milk, to just growing a...

I hate when this happens. We have a cow, Judith (named after the TWD character because they were born in the same situation, minus the zombie part) Anywhoot, 3rd calf year. She spits her calf out, but wants another calf. Wasnt there when the confusion started, but, no one has time for this. Get...

We've raised all our own replacements for over 45 years. Its worked out for us. I keep on top of the calving heifers, it cuts down on problems. I stave off most problems by removing the ones who've calved. This has taken years of experience of seeing what causes most of them. But they still pull...

SO I've always said the calving heifers pick cards before they start calving. We use only LBW bulls and shoot for 40 to 50 pound calves. Card 1 is, "I'll have a 150 pound calf." 2. I dont want my calf 3. I want that heifers calf and not the one coming out my butt 4. The poop calf, calving while...

Late spring. By fall she had a full body of wavy short hair. My old first post is a better account of it.

She was actually grey.

I'll look and see if i can dig them up.. I remember that it did not hurt her at the sale barn.

Here is my first post in this group. Pictures are gone, but it was the same as i posted above. I guess i should have a video somewhere too.. Sad these pictures arent where i can find them, i'd like to remember how she looked when we sold her. I remember her hair had a wave to it, but she had...
