[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1306446, member: 9096"] If she's a good cow and you can make her pay her way THIS year, I would see no reason to sell her in the fall, she probably will breed back just fine... If you can't graft a calf or milk her, the stakes are much higher on taking a gamble. I had a heifer that had a 120 lb calf, it was all my dad and I could do to pull that calf out.. about a half hour of wiggling and wrenching, thankfully the calf started breathing halfway out, but she had all sorts of tears inside, had a fever, and paralysis... 2 days later she was up and about, albeit shakey on her legs, dosed with LA200 and Dex, 2 months later she bred back on the first try. I had an 9 year old cow lose her breech birth calf, I milked her for a couple days and then had an unwanted twin which she very happily adopted, she's an excellent cow and I'm glad I still have her.. but she was already a proven cow.
