[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1461653, member: 25884"] Sorry to hear about the cow. Sometimes there is no real rhyme or reason for them getting in that predicament. She did put her all into getting that calf on the ground so for that you can be thankful. It happens, it's sad, and you go on. As you said, at least he took the bottle well, and if you can get him grafted on another cow, then it's as good as it is gonna be. We had a cow with a month old calf just come up dead one morning and no idea why. Still had some fair to decent teeth so not one of the "grandma cows". There were 2 calves that were going back and forth on this cow and the other momma, so we watched and it was stealing so we just let her keep the 2. They did all right, weaned off 75-100 lbs less than the others in the group but no extra work. We did grain her a bit for about a month to keep her production up til the calves were eating a bit more and they did okay. Hope you can get the cow to take this guy. [/QUOTE]
