[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1813801, member: 24027"] Thanks for the replies! I've just never had one stay away for so long - 3 days tops. I kept worrying something is/was wrong with the calf but he's such a chill guy, he doesn't run off every time I check his navel, stick my finger in his mouth, etc. [USER=5381]@bird dog[/USER], I was actually going to sell her in May when we worked the herd but wasn't thinking and gave her vaccinations. Vet called her 5-6 months bred early February but clearly that was off, although he is a big calf. She honestly didn't look bred and one of my crew preg checked when we worked them and "felt something". Couldn't tell by the old "lunch on the left, rugrat on the right" visual and she's not one I'd just walk up to and bump. Figured I just wait and see what happens: either she has a calf or doesn't but can hang here until Oct when I sell the culls at weaning. If I had a spring & fall calving, I'd definitely keep her. But I pull the bulls a good 6 weeks prior to weaning and seriously doubt she'll breed back by then (prob 2nd or 3rd week in Sept). Good point, [USER=40587]@Warren Allison[/USER], about being low in the pecking order. Since she was the only one without a calf, where she was previously pretty dominant, she did distance herself.
