[QUOTE="Chapin81, post: 1657611, member: 39180"] The abortions are over a 12 month period. Between both herds it’s 240 cows/heifers/calf’s and steers. The herd that’s producing this is the older herd. The daughters from the older herd have not produced this problem then again only five calf’s that have been born from that herd so far with one dying 3 days later(calf was 25lbs) . The land/weeds/grasses are the same. We haven’t done any testing, then again I’m in the middle of nowhere. I’m thinking I’m just going to sell those cows and hopefully the new sires don’t present this problem. I am however going to look for a laboratory down there and see if its because the cow ate something she wasn’t supposed to but I really doubt it. found this online [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/bch/CongenitalDefectsCattle.pdf[/URL] btw thanks for sharing your thoughts [/QUOTE]
