[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 727080, member: 2308"] TY, we are really happy with that Hereford bull, although the last year or so he's been having lameness problems. Had an abcess last year in his one hind leg, and this year I don't know if that's still bothering him or if it's something different. He's not really lame per se, but sometimes when he walks he really lifts that one hind leg high. Kina like an old swing bag cow will do. But he's walking normal right now, and he bred all his cows last summer, so he can stick around. Sounds like the same weather as here, the highest I saw it was -19 too. Congrats on your baby. I know all about this cold weather stuff, although we usually just blanket them good and leave them with mom, unless they are weak or something. Hope we don't have to do that this year. Last March was brutal. Too bad you had to pull her, hopefully it's just her, and the rest click right and you don't have to mess with them too much!! Sometimes that's the way it is, just a bad nick and you end up with one big calf and the rest are average sized. Good luck with your calving, it sounds like it should warm up by the end of the week here. Talking above freezing temps for the weekend. [/QUOTE]
