[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 313266, member: 430"] If you have the time and facility's why don't you graft a calf to her? That way she won't winter open and not carrying a calf? I've grafted a calf to every single cow that has lost a calf and have had real good luck at it, but we have a good area to lock them in and a squeese chute for the real stubborn ones. Also, I have never messed with skinning the dead calf or rubbibg afterbirth on the calf or any of that other stuff. If you make sure the calf nurses for 3 days it will start to smell like the momma and she will usually take it just fine after that. If I ever have one that won't take one she will end up at the sale barn. [/QUOTE]
