[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 642784, member: 1744"] Bought a bred heifer last Oct. nice animal from a good outfit and at a good price. Figured that they were thinning out bacause of the short hay season last year. The little gal is a calm cow but just won't go into the barn, don't care if she is the last cow out in a snow storm with no feed and she can see the rest in the barn having a picnic. Well, spring melt has started and we're up to our hocks in mud and slop. The heifer decided to calve last Thursday, thankfully on the only semi-dry mound in the pen. Now know why she was at the sale...looks like the herd sire got to her; after an hour of hooves and no nose she went down in hard labor. I took me and my son almost an hour to pull a 95 pound bull calf. Poor thing stayed down another two hours before she could move, then ignored the calf, got colostrun and has been on the bottle since. If she won't take it tomorrow the grandkids have a bottle baby to care for and she gets a free ride to the sale. Really is a crap shoot when you get thoes good deals. And that's my two bits worth....Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
