Had a heifer have a calf tonight that was dead. Not sure if it died during calving or was born dead but it was a large calf for a first time heifer. I noticed she was starting the calving process about dark, but nothing was showing and I came back a couple hours later to check on her and found she had the calf. I'm trying to decide on what to do from a income standpoint. I typically don't keep cows that don't produce calves to sale, regardless the reason. Would it be possible to breed her back and sale her as a bred cow since she did technically calve? My other option would be just taking her to the sale barn. Any thoughts or opinions?
