[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1364356, member: 9096"] I don't see how it would be different than breeding at 2 years old... and with the size of that calf it's not surprising she had trouble, most of your southern folk get scared when a grown cow has a calf that size. If I do keep her, I'd pay more attention to her exercise regime before calving.. make her walk for water a little more, and not have her penned as long doing nothing... She is bred to the same bull, which except for that calf had very good BW's... My option was the Limo bull which I had bad luck with the year before with 2 close calls (jack required) and another significant pull out of 4 heifers... I have 1 certain cull already for this fall, and possible another other than this heifer.. cull too many and I have no income next year. [/QUOTE]
