[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 743012, member: 9169"] I'd give her a try if the price was right. If the base genetics are decent and she just hasn't been cared for, she should bounce back. One of our cows was orphaned at around 2 mos. old. The old owner saw she was stealing some milk and so just left her out with the herd. She "weaned" at about 350 pounds and was the smallest calf by far. But the genes were there, she just needed a little extra nutrition to get caught up. We bought her cheap, she grew enough that we went ahead and bred her to calve at 2 and she's been a good producer since. I posted pictures of her with her 3rd calf and she got good reviews on here. And, sheesh, what is wrong with these people that won't provide basic care for their animals?? Even if they don't have a heart they are saving pennies and losing dollars. There is a starved and neglected pig that I have to drive past every day. Bugs the be nice out of me. If you don't see me post for awhile, you can assume I caved in and stole it and got caught! lol [/QUOTE]
