[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1261414, member: 9096"] With the grandma of this cow in question, back in the days before we had any mineral supplementation, she made good calves, but seemed to always take in the 2nd or 3rd cycle.. She milked well and you couldn't tell her calves were younger in the fall, so it wasn't a big deal.. she had 16 calves, and her last one was born on time.. she's turning out to be a good cow too. The old cow's sister was one that got a second chance as well.. she was the heaviest milker of all the cows, when she calved on time... Her steers were always around 750lb at weaning, but when she calved early, she wouldn't breed back.. she's the one that I got the blood work done on and determined what my deficiencies here were.. She is Mega's mother, and Mega has been a great producer and bred the first time every time (she's 5 now).. She's the one that had a stroke and went tits-up on me 2 years ago... really badly wanted a sister for Mega.. no such luck. [/QUOTE]
