[QUOTE="Hereford2, post: 1658410, member: 25296"] Hi I have a Jersey, Holstien, Shorthorn Heifer that is 14 months old due to Calve in April. I was planning to use her for a milk cow, but now I'm starting to rethink that idea. Back story on her, I bought her as a bottle calf she was 2&1/2 months old and still on the bottle, but when I got her home it took 2 people to hold her for about the first week to get her to stand still enough to take the bottle, she was Terrified of people, especially men, she must have been sedated when I got her. She had open sores on her back, she ended up taming down to where I could do anything with her, but after not being handled for the last 6 months she won't let me touch her, she doesn't act crazy just doesn't want me to touch her, or get close to her, should I give her grain every day and hope she tames down? Or ship her. I was back at the farm where I got her from a couple of months after I bought her, to get a couple of lambs and the Same boy who was in charge of this heifer (before I bought her) was in charge of the lambs and he was kicking them and whipping them with a stick, for no apparent reason. So I think this heifer was probably abused as a calf.. [/QUOTE]
