[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1772068, member: 39373"] It happens. And ya never forget the first one ya lost either. I was late getting home and had a heifer due. She's the first daughter of my very first cow. Got home about 2 hrs later than normal to see her down with a calf 2/3s out. I wiggle thru the fence, stood up and promptly got knocked right back down by the hot wire. 🤣 Anyway, got to her and calf basically just fell right out. Mama had just given up I guess. Wasn't a huge calf. Just a good normal sized calf out of a heifer. D.o.a. unfortunately. That first time is heartbreaking. All the coulda shoulda woulda..... I spent 3 weeks grafting a calf on that heifer! Ungrateful witch. 😆 Shes done great ever since. Won't keep a heifer out if her tho! [/QUOTE]
