[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1759691, member: 25884"] Sorry about Red. Sometimes they just are too old or too far gone to bring back. Sometimes a little extra grain will get them over the hump and sometimes it is just too expensive to do that. The white one looks real good. The only thing to look at now is if she drops a nice calf, and with the prices coming up, you might get back most of what you had in both... Got one that raised a crap calf and is nuts... paid 600 and she will bring that now in lb price and calf will just bring a little bit. Got a 1st calf heifer that I paid 450 for... calf is mediocre but they have both done okay... will make a little bit on them. Buried a big nice but old hereford with a decent calf on her... brought them home to wean the calf and sell, then sell the cow... dropped dead. Chances you take on the older ones. [/QUOTE]
