Cow 1: two calves in a row contracted tendons
Cow 2: two calves in a row, weak, after what in assuming difficult births on small calves. I saved the first one, not the second.
Cows above raised some great calves, IF you can get them up and going.
Cow three: slipped first calf a week after buying. It was hot when I moved them though. Kept her. Last calf, maggots, due to what I assume was partially caused by not cleaning calf good enough.
Cow 4: some foot problem I couldn't fix. Slaughter.
Cow 5: lost second calf. I think she had trouble, calf weak, cold, died. I'm keeping her. I won't put all of that one on her alone.
Cow 6: no trouble. Two great calves. As good as any others I've had. But was pretty high headed when I got her. I figure that's why they sent her. The rest of them has really calmed her though. Good momma.
The reference to first/second calves are since I've had them. 4-6 yo cows when I purchased.
