[QUOTE="travlnusa, post: 348514, member: 1469"] Heifer gave birth last week. She did a great job delivering and caring for new calf. All in all she is a good mom. Calf had no will to live. Ended up tubing her until she figured out she can get the same from mom, without a two foot tube being shoved down her thoat. Calf is looking good at this point. My question is the future. If I keep the mom, will her future calves tend to be as dumb as this one? Second question is do I entertain the idea of keeping the calf down the road as a herd addition, or will she pass on the stupid calf trait? The overall question is about the calf being so slow to start. Is this a isolated event, or is this a trend that is carried over? [/QUOTE]
