[QUOTE="Ozhorse, post: 1064086, member: 18575"] Not being my heifer it is easy for me to say eat her. It depends on what you want in your herd. If they are pets that is one thing. Or if what you want is really nice looking cattle in your field then the money from calves may not be all that important to you and good looking cattle are. Then giving her yet another go around makes sense. I have some quite ugly old boney small cows that raise good calves every year but I would not want them on my front lawn if I only owned 10 acres. In my commercial herd I have decided that fertility and temperament are equal number one traits so I would not keep her. She does sound like she has used up all her credits though, with 2 x AI and also backup bulls. [/QUOTE]
