[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1064074, member: 5956"] The hard calls are tough ones to make when you're just starting, but lots of long-timers will tell you that's what they now wish they'd done. I'm trying to think whether or not I ended up keeping any members of the families of those animals I gave "just one more chance" because they had some feature I felt was worth taking a chance on. When I started out, if an animal was good in every other respect, I forgave her an empty year. But those were cows with a proven prior ability to rear a good calf. I'm not sure I'd bother now with a heifer which repeatedly missed. Go with your gut (either way ;-) ) on this one. She probably won't ever calve if she hasn't settled and the longer you wait, the tougher your steak. [/QUOTE]
