[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1328086, member: 13664"] Sorry to hear that. It's always hard to lose one. I'm like you and work an off farm job too, and it's hard when you're not there to see one like that and know what actually happened. Don't beat yourself up. You never know, the calf may have been stillborn and there may have been nothing you could have done even if you were there. It's human nature to be concerned about your next calves after losing one, but I wouldn't think this would be an indicator of how the rest of your calving goes necessarily. Many will probably say cull her, but if it was me and you really like the heifer, I would give her another shot. I hope the rest of your calving goes smoothly, and you have a field full of healthy calves running around soon. [/QUOTE]
