[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1182116, member: 9096"] I had one that miscarried a pair of twins 3 years in a row, and kept her spot because there was always one that needed another momma, and she did a great job of raising them, so she stayed, but after the 3rd time I shipped her hoping I wouldn't need her services and headaches anymore.. and I haven't. We have had a few of them that were just perpetual problems, even though it would just seem like bad luck, they'd get it all, uterine torsions, backwards legs while calving, you name it. If I was short of feed, yes, I'd get rid of her now, if you aren't at capacity, well, perhaps another kick at the can won't hurt. I have a few that never did nor will raise a respectable calf, but since I have the food for them, I'll keep them.. one is now going on 8 years old! I think I'm going to do a major cleanup next fall.. I'll fill up a trailer at least and make the trip worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
