[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1707490, member: 39112"] Yeah it's frustrating when a calf disappears and you have no clue what happened. If the cow was part of the problem, if it was just a fluke accident and someone stepped on it. Been there done that......... it sucks. As to what to do with the cow. Oh man, you can get a hundred different answers to that question. It all depends how much you look at the nickel and dimes. Some will ship the cow regardless, because she has to make up the income for a lost calf. If there would be something wrong with her, like shot milkbag, old age or difficult birth I probably would agree. But if that's not the case.......my personal take is to mark it down as strike one. If she has a strike 2 next year she goes to market, but that takes a full year of feeding that cow. So as I've said. That's such a personal question. It's whatever YOU think is right for YOU.
