[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 270293, member: 1399"] Well I learned another important lesson this week. I lost my second cow in so many years from being Paralyzed during calving. Lost both calves on both of them. Both of these bred heifers came from the same high profile sale. Both were bred to easy calving bulls. Go them both two years ago, lost one last year, the one I lost this year had a hard pull last year. The one that we lost last year the vet said had way to small of a pelvic area to ever naturally have a calf. I suspect with the hard pull last year and the calving problem again this year that the second one also had a small pelvic area. The sale were I got them said they do not do pelvic exams on there heifers. This was my biggest mistake in not making sure of this before buying. Or I should have just stuck to buying little older cows. From now on I will never buy a heifer that has not been Pelvic measured. I guess I learned some costly lessons on these two girls. Ps. Last year I did get a partial refund on the Heifer that died. But this years lesson is on me. [/QUOTE]
