[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1150463, member: 16752"] Have had good luck with our heifers over the last several years. We have sold a few to other operations, and we tend to retain a few each year for replacements as well as purchasing some from time to time. Can't recall of having any calving trouble from any of them and have had no bad reports from the other operations we have sold some to. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself and these will continue the trend. I usually will have our heifers in a lot to watch them at calving to be there if assistance is needed. Sometimes I feel lazy and just want to leave them in the pasture. But then I'll remember all the ones we've had to pull before in the past from heifers and how hard it is to help one in the pasture and that motivates me to get them in the calving lot. Here's the latest heifer that has calved, she's a commercial that got bred later than we had thought but had no trouble with her little 7/2/14 bull. As long as I find them like this I'm a happy guy. Calling the little bull Independence or Cotton Ball. He has a white tip on his tail but night black everywhere else.
