[QUOTE="VaCowman, post: 1610446, member: 33135"] I had a cow a few years back that calved (live, healthy calf, kept as replacement) sometime the first week of NOV and was standing the day we AI'ed the "early" cows that had calved in Sept. At preg check, she took to the AI, and was <3 weeks post calving when she was AIed. She was a great cow that had just fell back to Nov for whatever reason (suspect early embryonic death loss) but was obviously eager to catch back up with her herd mates! The Nov calf was stomping good and made it to the replacement pen, even though she was much younger than the others. She took AI (I noted a trend in fertility) and ended up losing her because I thought coyotes had got her calf, but it had just gotten stuck in cervix. Heifer went septic in a matter of days and died about 2 days after I took her to the vet after noticing her going downhill quickly. Talk about a gut punch. Her other sisters are still going strong, getting bred every year, mostly to AI. Great cow line! [/QUOTE]
