[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 125187, member: 1726"] I think I was one that said that I wouldn't get rid of her if she raised a good calf. I have one with two bad quarters that I have kept because she raises a good calf but having reflected on my thought processes I think I will ship her. If she looses another I will end up maybe with a bottle baby or a poor calf or both. My money/time may be better spent with a full functioning cow. :lol: I suspect that a cow with one or two bad quarters will wean a lower weight calf even though it may be a decent calf. I will go out on a limb here and say I will cull mine next trip and will in future cull cows with bad quarters in the future. I will not keep a replacement off of that cow in case it is hereditary. I think this is good commercial herd practice. If you only have a few and maybe feed from a bag, you are really attached to the cow for some reason, then you might risk it. You see even this old boy can learn new ways of better herd management. ;-) [/QUOTE]
