[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 487985, member: 2653"] Maybe I'm getting lazy as I get older. There's just too many good cows out there to keep the ones that make me work 10 times harder. No way for you to know with a heifer, that's the bad part. The past two days have been really horrible weather here. Tornados, 6" of rain in two days. My next closest cow due was #2. We only know her by #2. She's a 2003 model, commercial Brangus cross. Not really big framed, but really good bag, and mothering ability. This afternoon I went out to check on the cows and she had already calved - had her calf sleeping on an old bale of hay eaten down. She saw me, called to the calf, and the calf got up walked over calmly and starting sucking (I'm guessing it was born early morning). Weather was so bad, I don't know if the calf was a bull or heifer, but hoping for a heifer just like her moma. Cows like that are worth their weight in gold. Don't you wish that there was a mothering ability EPD? It would make life much easier for cow/calfers. [/QUOTE]
