[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1410002, member: 25884"] Friend had a jersey heifer get bred at about 6 months. Didn't realize it I guess, old farmer, and when she started to bag it was too late to abort. She died a horrible death trying to calve and I swore after that I would be more careful and watchful....but sometimes it just happens. So sorry you had to go through that and glad at least you could save her the ultimate agony of suffering a long drawn out death by calving. One of the reasons we have controlled breeding times, so the likely hood of a too young heifer getting bred is minimized. But you can't control anything 100%. Especially when things like a neighbors bull gets in, or they just come in heat way too young. That was a HUGE calf in a heifer that small. No way you could have saved her or it unless by C-section, and who knows if even then. We do our best.... [/QUOTE]
