[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1363963, member: 22072"] How many do you run?...Have you checked your averages and see if they are good? We run over 250 mother cows now and i spend all my days out checking them. Calving season is the worst. In 3 months i'll log in 5000 miles on my 4wheeler and its not because i have to drive a long way to the herds, most are here around our house. Some years it seems we have one problem after another, same as you...but once you average it out, it doesnt seem so bad. Every problem we have sticks in my head, then another and then another where it seems all we have are problems. But on paper, in the end, is only 5% loss...when i'd swear its like 50/50...lol We had a easy year this year...Only one paralyzed cow...maybe 3 lost calves...we lost a few other cows, but they were old..But last year we lost more calves and less cows.. and several cases of mastitis, but none this year..Had 4 sets of twins this year, but saved 2 extra that i grafted to the cows who lost calves...No twins last year which was weird...
