[QUOTE="USAxBrad, post: 1384881, member: 25689"] This Cow gave birth to a still born 116lb heifer tonight. Did not notice her having any problems but judging from the swelling on the calf she had to push long and hard. Anyway this cow weaned off a nice 710lb steer for me earlier this spring, largest one of her herd. Between this birth weight and the fact the rest of the herd was done calving at the end of October should I cull this cow after this winter or give her another shot. She is docile and sound. Just don't know what to do with her. If she is going to throw large calves everytime, I can't be around all the time to calve them due to work. I have that new sim angus bull that has a decent CE and BW instead of that Charlouis if he would be worth giving her another shot. What do you all do.

Judging by the photo don't you think it was the fact she was just too large and took too long getting out?
