[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1572280, member: 22072"] We will keep a cow that missed a calf. We have a few and one's name is Funny Face. She has a strange face and it makes me smile when I see her. Husband OKed the keep because he said if it makes me smile its ok.. We kept Hurt Mouth, she missed her second calf. I put too much into her to just sell. I tend to keep my bottle babies if they miss a calf. Having them in the herds helps in getting them up. (not that our herds are hard to get up, but a lead cow is always helpful specially with a herd full of small babies on long drives through several gates) Now that we don't have retired show heifers in the herds, my bottle babies take their place. I don't care if they are or aren't productive... Its a luxury I can have since we don't have to have every cow producing.... [/QUOTE]
