[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1435086, member: 16752"] My Bottle Calf Group is a Growing. Found 8 year old Glamous Dead with a standing new bull calf. Cow had Prolapsed. To think a few weeks ago we were looking for a calf to now having 3 bottle calves. The 1st Register cow we've lost since we started raising purebred simmentals. She had did well here, calved easily last year with twin bull calves and raised both of them. Also delivered twins the year before but one was dead raised the other fine. She was a Dream Doctor daughter purchased from Sunset View. She had done a good enough job that we had raised and sold a bull and heifer from her to other operations. Suppose I'll chalk it up to the heat, humidity, and a large frame calf that caused a difficult birth and hard straining. A real long bodied and tall calf which really doesn't fit the phenotype of the dam or even the sire. Think it's the longest bodied calf we have had born here in a very long time. Weighed the calf using a bathroom scale and it read 80 lbs. don't think its accurate because I weighed myself later and I was 10 lbs. heavier and I hadn't ate that much. Anyway please wish me luck I don't need more problems or bottle calves. Know of anybody that needs or wants one we've got them. [/QUOTE]
