[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1486905, member: 24027"] Oooh, definitely not a good start, sorry about that. Only 1 calf out of 4? Not sure I'm following you: did the heifers successfully calve and you lost 3 due to pneumonia, scours or something else? Or did you have 3 dead calves at birth due to mal presentation, too big, etc? That's assuming you even know what happened. I'm a firm believer in having heifers pelvic measured (which I just did this week) BUT that's assuming they're bred to a bull that correlates to their measurements and you also have to account for the possibility one of them will simply end up growing a huge calf.
