[QUOTE="curtis, post: 162800, member: 3068"] A friend of mind lost a young cow last month from tryin to have a bull calf that weighed 100 pounds. We pulled the calf an he is doing find now an is one month old. The cow prolapsed an it being a holiday we could not find a vet anywhere an none of us knew how to put her back together. Sadly she died a little later. One of the cattleman there said that he thought she was too fat to have a calf. This was to be her second calf. This makes 2 cows he has lost in the last 13 months from the same bull. So, my question is what kind of shape do you want your cows to be when its time to have the calf. Do you want slim, fat or somewhere in the middle? The cow in question had been on bermuda grass hay an protein tubbs. Is this a weight problem or a bull problem? TIA Curtis [/QUOTE]
