[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1539038, member: 13402"] Doing a bit of a happy dance this morning. My old 409 cow had a calf this morning, we had palpated her to the AI date when she passed over it I was afraid she had slipped her calf. This cow has a history for sure, she is a Pathfinder cowthat sure had a rough start in life. Her dam stifled when she was 3 months old we worked with her for three weeks trying to save her but she was done, so 409 got weaned at actually 31/2 months since mamma couldn’t stand up for her to nurse. She was a great robber calf she would rob off every cow in the herd while they nursed their own baby. I figured she’d would never breed up with the rest of the heifers but she did one set of twins along the way. She has managed to maintain a weaning ratio of 106 and a yearling ratio of 104. She is beginning to show her age a bit but still getting the job done. She weaned her last calf at a ratio of 113, the good news it is a heifer so she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. I don’t know what she had this morning just thankful she is still getting the job done. If they tell me it’s another heifer I might just have to do the rumba! Gizmom [/QUOTE]
