[QUOTE="novaman, post: 637840, member: 2744"] This has nothing to do with your questions, but how could the heifer who lost her calf be calving the same time as the others if she didn't take to the AI? She would have had to been bred the next cycle? Anyway, I would suggest finding another calf to put under the heifer who lost her original calf. Either that or I would move her. The reason being you need some return from her this year. That means either selling a calf raised by her (holsteins still sell but maybe not worth quite as much) or selling her. It costs way to much to raise a heifer up to calving age and then not getting a calf. Add to this an extra year to finally have her first live, salable calf and you better keep her around until she's at least 10 or 11 before she'll finally make you an appreciable amount of money. Just some things to think about. [/QUOTE]
