[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1572377, member: 19683"] Most of the time I give the second chance. Almost always it turned out well. Usually we had dead calves from heifers, which couldn't deliver a big calf by themselves. There was only one time, when the heifer had even bigger calf next year, which wasn't delivered fast enough even with help, so have culled her once she recovered. One time a matured cow, which has raised a number of calves had a dead calf. Not big, but dead. Bought a new calf for her, but once she saw it she went mad... Have milked the cow and fed that calf... Next year she had an alive calf, but he got a joint illness in his front knees and didn't survived for long. Have milked the cow for that year too. The next year she has delivered a nice heifer! She only had one before and we wanted another one alot! She did great raising that heifer and we have her now raising her own calf. [/QUOTE]
