[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1155804, member: 1682"] Perhaps both. Bought two open yearling heifers from neighbour in 2009. Both good looking and easy going, but one heifer came off a cow that would feed a calf, but never really care for it. Well, 2010 comes along and that same heifer calves and bolts from the calf. Had to lock her in the chute and hold calf from behind to nurse. She eventually allowed it to suck in the open field, but never looked for it if it wandered away, or even called for it or licked it, from birth to weaning. Beautiful udder and high butterfat, so calf was a monster at weaning. But for the reason of being a terrible mother alone, she got on the bus for the packer when the calf was weaned. Other yearling heifer is a top notch cow that is still in the herd and has made me a boatload of money over the years. [/QUOTE]
