[QUOTE="okiek, post: 1665494, member: 32214"] Thanks for all the replies. Sorry I just saw them. It's been a rocking busy week. The cow died shortly after my last post. I've lost cows before and know I will again. This heifer season has been an especially rough one. If I ever lost a cow from a rough pull it would have been in the 70's when we put Charolais bulls on our Angus cows. At that time Charolais were known for anything but calving ease. We pulled a lot. I don't remember losing a cow but I was a youngster then so I guess we could have. This was my first year to use the bull I have. I've been weighing his calves just for my own knowledge. Weights have averaged 57-58 pounds for heifer calves but I've lost more than I should have to these heifer mommas. I hope things come off well with my cows next month!! [/QUOTE]
