Learned my lesson on buying bred heifers that I don't know the genetics of the animals.
Got a really good deal on a real nice heifer at the sale, beautiful Angus and we were looking forward to the calf. Getting close to calving I got to wondering why she was sold...found out when she went into labor...took my son a little over two hours to pull the calf and the heifer was down locked up for another two and then wouldn't take the calf no matter what we tried.
95 pound bull calf on the bottle..traded him for hay to a friend that had a nurse cow that needed another calf.
