Spot & Bubby
Well-known member
I was hand feeding a set of cows (cubes) after checking water last night. 6-8 regular takers, including my bred heifer, Spot, (my first), and there were a few that come up, but won't take. One kept pushing my heifer around to get closer, then she'd chicken out, but kept pushing on Spot. Spot held her own and got her cubes.
I looked up as I was latching the last gate out and saw that cow riding my heifer. I'm sick over it. Sick to my stomach. Heartsick. Spot was among the heaviest bred at palpating time, and I was so proud. I just don't know what I'm going to do if she lost her calf. I'm so upset.
She should be due to calve in about three weeks with a 60 day window for the herd. I'm a nervous wreck.
Just wanted to share that.
