[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12291"] I think I would give her another chance if it were me. I bought a well bred 60" tip to tip five year old cow that I've had two years now-I'll just give a quick run down of my experiences with her. Snow Queen had a Levi 6 bull calf on her at the time of purchase. The calf was three weeks old at time of purchase-he grew out well, has a ton of horn and is currently breeding a pen of heifers. Snow Queen was bred to my Tabasco son and I anticipated a heifer from this mating for the duration of the pregnancy. Well, Snow Queen gave birth to a heifer but it was premature and after several weeks of relentless caring for the calf, it died. She bred back to Earl-same Tabasco son and gave birth to a nice black bull this time. All was well until he came down with scours which I tried to treat myself and ended up almost losing him. But with a day and a half hospitalization and losing two nights sleep I and my trusty vet pulled him through. This calf is one of the better that I have had this year. I don't believe that Snow Queen can help that she had a premature baby last year or that she had a calf this year that contrated scours (the vet diagnosed it as a serious strain of e coli bacteria) and I'm very glad that I gave her another chance. She should be bred back now to a new 66" horned bull that we've acquired (big, beefy bull with huge horns). Man, I hope I get a heifer this next time! [/QUOTE]
