A friend of mine had a cow get a hernia in her belly while calving and both cow/calf lived. He plans on selling her this fall as a cull but wants her to raise her calf first. His vet advised not to breed her so it doesn't tear worse but he can't keep her seperate all summer from his other cows so my question is, should he just give lute in aug or so to abort or just let her get bred and still sell as a cull? What would you guys do? He doesn't want a bottle calf so selling her now is not an option for him now
 
I would either sell them both now or let her get bred and sell her through the kill pen in the fall
 
I would sell the cow (kill pen) after the calf is weaned, and not worry if she gets bred or not.
