[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1115715, member: 637"] Wisteria, Your other cows look great at the hay ring, just something happened to this cow, and she needs some TLC. If you think back, does this cow pull down each year when she had a calf to a low body condition? Or was it just this one time? She should not have pulled down so low going into the winter as it is difficult to gain weight with low temps, mostly in your area. If this is something she goes through each year, then I would not keep any heifers from her, but if this is a first time deal, I would get a vet to check her out. B12 shots, and probiotics etc... If this was a first time happening, and she produced great heifers, I would do my best to get her back on her feet. I find it difficult to find a line of cows that produce the same product year and year. I will go the extra mile with these cows. [/QUOTE]
