Real small heifer

[cowpunk'd]

I have a heifer that was accidently bred at 5 mo's, we had to pull the calf but no C-section like the vet predicted. Heifer was short on milk so we supplemented with replacer, she mothered it well though, and fed it what she had. Calf hasn't amounted to much but the heifer kept on growing good, not stunted. She is bred back and will be having her second calf soon, she'll be just over 2 yrs old when she has that second calf. She had better be able to feed this one.

:lol: one of my neighbors bought some grass calves from, somewhere...
they were 500 lb. heifers. a week or so after he got them he went to feed one morning and two of them had calved! one of the calves died right away the second one lived a couple days. my first question was they must have been bred also!
if'n i hadn't seen it with my own eyes i probably had not believed it either!
:lol:

Good luck with her redfish. Post a picture of her and her calf. I am an eternal optimist. Let us know how she does.
