[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 249401, member: 2308"] This is true!! I have seen too many people keep a cow around because "she raises a darn good calf" every year. One of our friends runs Maine/Angus cross, and this spring they had to tag almost every calf in the bed of the truck, and even some up on top of the cab, with mama trying to climb up there with them. Life is too short, and it doesn't really matter what kind of calf she raises if you're in the hospital, or dead!! We've had our share of nasties, and they don't last long. Usually only 1 calving season, we let them raise the calf, then they go down the road. Only had one that made it 2 years and that was only because BSE and there was nowhere to take her. She was worse the 3rd year, and by then the market had opened up enough to send her on, straight to the packing plant. God, I hate having to watch over my shoulder constantly when I'm out in the herd. [/QUOTE]
