[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 612652, member: 8978"] It happens. Have one darned old Hereford cow that has done it twice at two weeks after she calved! I let the bulls run out all winter with the cows and usually pull them out about a month after the first calf is born. Unfortunately this old girl got bred, not just one year but a couple of years later the same thing ! So I get this calf in early February! Then I have to keep the cow and calf in until the bulls come out on June 1st. Luckily she is getting around 13 so she'll be gone soon. Had another little screw up two years ago. Had this little late born bull calf that never got cut. When we pulled the bulls my son said we'd better pull that little sucker too. Of course, thinking I know everything, said Oh he's only about 600 lbs. he'll never breed anything! The result...twelve early calves! The good thing is they turned out pretty good. [/QUOTE]
