[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1572369, member: 12520"] Yes, the decision to cull needs to be on a cow to cow basis. Last year I was turning out pairs, got the pair out the gate and went to do something else. Looked back as the calf came running back to where it came from with it's mouth open bawling just as it hit the steel panel. End result was a broken jaw and a calf that needed to be put down. Would have been foolish to cull the cow based on that. There are a thousand things that can happen to a calf over the course of 205 days and to blame the mother in every case makes no sense to me.
