[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 742979, member: 6681"] [img]http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx29/cmf1/tigerbaby041.jpg[/img] I bought this cow in a 2-3 condition with a live baby on her side when she was 16-18 mos old. His neighbors' bull jumped a fence. Took a chance and took her home, sold the heifer calf off of her, netted her cost down to about $350.00. Fed her, wormed her, kept her with heifers for about 5 months bred her. She aborted. Let her run with the cows and get healthy. Turned the bull in on her and 276 days later had this bull calf Feb. 09. Bred now and looking good. Due in about 4 weeks. Difference is she had a live one on her, but when I tell you she was in rough condition, I mean rough. If the baby hadn't looked good I probably never would have tried it and even then took a while to get her right. I'm small time so it wasn't any big deal to give her the time off. I figured if nothing else, she was sure enough fertile. But again she had a live one on her and the initial cost could have been made up easy enough. if you really like what she could be and you can get her cheap enough.... I get a lot of satisfaction looking at my rescue cow all fat and bred and out in my pasture. [/QUOTE]
