[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 552674, member: 7398"] Bad year here too. My first set of calves were twins . . . both bulls . . . both dead. At least there's value in a live one. I don't have any experience with contracted tendons, but I made myself a promise this year. I fought through a cow who continued to prolapse because I was determined to get her calf down. I won the battle, but I'm sure I lost the war. The calf is down and they're both fine (I stiched momma up again right after calving) but I'm sure I lost a ton of "time and headache" money just because I hate to lose and momma's going to the butcher still anyway. I promised myself I'd cut my losses early from here on out . . . at least try. The first thing my dad taught me when he was showing me how to water ski was "when you fall, let go of the rope". Sorry for your year. [/QUOTE]
