Cowboyup, there is more than just weeds in that pasture. Thats just where they were standing in the front part. It's only 40 acres there and the guy that owns it .Just let us put a few head over there. It needs to be shredded,but we've gotten so much rain in the last few weeks we can't take the tractor in there.

Thanks Beefy, She has plenty of milk. And she is in/linebred. That what is kind of worrying me. She did fine on calving. We had to help the calf at first ,but he quickly figured out what he needed to suck on.Beefy":3gye1w1p said:Joy, i think she suffers from First Calf Heifer Syndrome or FCHS. at this stage there isnt a whole lot you can do as everything is going straight to the calf. you may have to wait until weaning for her to improve significantly and who knows if she will be bred or not by then? or she may have just been having a bad day or been feeling under the weather. is this the heifer that was inlinebred? if so, that might explain her unthriftyness. how did the calving go? how does she milk?
