[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1798121, member: 19683"] Weighed twins- heifer 69,5lbs, bull 107lbs. We actually had a major loss three days ago. Had the oldest cow separated from the herd and being down for the past month. She was due to calve on the 25th of April, so tried to get as close as possible to her due date and induce, planned about this weekend. We lifted her every day and she ate and drank. Unfortunatelly, three days ago in the morning she started looking worse. I was away from home, so hoped that she will wait untill the later afternoon. However by the 3:30pm she was dead. The calf inside was dead too. She still was alive at 2:30pm. Would have had a 7/8 charolais bull calf... You win some and you loose some, unfortunatelly... Gonna be more cautious about older cows next time and not keeping them for one extra year. It would have been her last calf. [/QUOTE]
