[QUOTE="dun, post: 749871, member: 34"] 5-6 years ago we had a bought in heafer that was AIed to a young unproven bull that was ver yhigh for calving ease at the time they used him. (He is now in the bottom 1% of the breed) We pulled a 116 pound calf from her and when we truned her loose she hauled tail for the farthest point she could find. We tubed the calf with colostrum and left hr laying in a dry corner for the night. The next morning she was gone and was with her mother. The only other non-maternal we've had inrecent memory was a second calver. Her first calf she doted on and raised just fine. Her second calf she tried to kill at every opportunity. Momma went for a ride and the vet bought the calf for his daughter. She's now raising either her 3rd or forth calf and her daughter is raising her second. [/QUOTE]
