[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1829534, member: 40587"] So, my friend Dan, the breeding manager and AI tech for the huge Charolais operation, called me at 5AM this morning. I got the worst head cold ever yesterday, so I was up anyhow. I think I slept from 1 to 3 this morning. Anyhow, one of their Braunvieh/Brown Swiss recep cows had slipped 2 embryos this year. After the 2nd one, he AI-ed her to this old timey red &white Simm he had in the tank. Or it might be Fleckveih..I dunno. He wanted to see if the problem was the cow or the embryos. 10 days ago she had a 108 lb heifer calf. Monday, one of their high-dollar Charolais had a calf, and wanted nothing to do with it, other than to try to kill it. So they have been bottle feeding it colostrum, and want to graft it onto that recip cow today. He said if I wanted her calf I could have it! I am coughing and sneezing so bad I can hardly talk. So, I woke up Clay...bless his heart. and at 6 AM ., he took off for Scott's place with that calf in the back of one of his trucks with a camper shell on it. He should be there in about `30 minutes. They gonna see if Gail will take that one too. If not, they will just milk Gail and bottle feed it til Saturday, then take it to the sale. Y'all keep your fingers crossed for us! [/QUOTE]
