[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 33410, member: 430"] We have had two bottle calves in the last 2 years and we named them Hamburger and T-bone. We had a granny cow that lost her last calf but I just couldn't bring my heart to sell her since she was the matriarc of the herd and the last holstein on the ranch from the old dairy days she was 15 or 16 yrs old, I'm not exactly sure because her tattoo could no longer be read. She stayed in the hay-trap so she didn't have to walk around a lot since she had a small limp also. We put a yearling bull in with her for a while and since she wasn't cycling we thought it would be ok but it was our mistake, he jumped her and she went down on the coldest, sleeting rain night of the year. We went out with the tractor and tried to get her on her feet but some part in the rear end just was not working like it should so we had to put her down because I couldn't let her lay out there and suffer in the cold wet ground. We all cried - it was the end of a generation, the end of a lifestyle that we can not go back to a simplier time long gone. [/QUOTE]
