[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 1120684, member: 5106"] I kept a heifer that was down for weeks after a hard pull. I gave her a lot of tlc and nursed her back to health and she rebred on time. She gave me beautiful twins , raised them both and they weaned at a little over 600 lbs each. The next year she bred back on schedule and gave me twins again , except they were twisted together and she needed a section or have them cut out . Being that it was -46 a c section was out so we cut out and removed as much of the first twin that we could , pumped her full of antibiotics and hoped she would abort them now that they were not twisted together anymore . I lost her to septicemia a week later . Maybe I should have cut my losses and shipped her as soon as she was up and walking and her withdrawal period was over that first time . Sometime a second chance pays off and sometimes it is a heartbreak again. [/QUOTE]
