[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 206391, member: 968"] To me, the deciding factors will be if she [b]breeds back [/b]with the [b]rest[/b] of them, AND raises the calf really well to weaning. If she breeds back & raises a calf, I really wouldn't worry about her condition. She has fall & winter to get into shape for next year. The next calving/breeding season will be the hardest (at least that's what I think). My 2 yr olds go into calving season in great shape, they lose weight after calving, but breed back no problem. Next year, they are still stressed from this years calf sucking them down & still growing. So I didn't answer the poll, because if she doesn't breed back, I'd cull her after weaning. If she does, and raises a good calf, she's a keeper. [/QUOTE]
