[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1115289, member: 9096"] BrangusCowgirl.. I now know why rifles have hair-triggers... for times when it's hard to pull.. Wisteria.. All of Rosie's relatives have all had exceptional udders that never broke down.. keeps them looking younger than they are. A second reason Rosie couldn't go for meat was I had given her a drug not approved for use in beef cattle (it was for arthritic horses) ... I think it was Butazone.. Funny because it's approved for use in humans!. It didn't do her a heck of a lot of good, and thanks to my mother being a nurse and having an encyclopedia of drugs, I found all the side effects reported on humans.. gastrointestinal ulcers, skin irritations, etc... and I started to see Rosie getting rashes from licking the same spot.. so I quit with it and gave the leftover to a friend... If yours raised a calf last year, she might do it again this year... though I'd keep her away from the bull this year.. You should see the udder on one of my 10 year olds.. she kicks it along as she walks so as not to step on her teats... but she had a whole gallon of colostrom in each front quarter.. Didn't bother with the hind ones.. teats were too small for my mitts to milk... after a month or so the calf will find them I have 4 daughters from Rosie.. 1 is 8, and the others are now 1,2 and 3 (yes, 3 in a row)... she gave me 11 daughters.. good thing I wasn't gunning for bulls (only 6).. There was 1 other daughter I think I should have kept, but oh well. I never worm.. (I clip for lice).. so I'm not the expert there! [/QUOTE]
