[QUOTE="Double A, post: 416378, member: 6818"] We have always shipped when a cow will not claim a calf. Cows that don't raise a calf, don't make money. Although I will add, we have never had one claim the first, but not the 2nd. We have gotten much better at getting the cow to bond with the calf and work really hard to get this to work so we don't have to ship or end up with an orphan. It can also depend on your situation (cow numbers, how much is the cow worth, disposition, etc) and if you have time to monitor and mess with her in the future. An especially hard call with slaughter prices up! That's an odd one, about the unweaned calf; the longer we've been in cattle, the more unusual things we seem to encounter...but that's a new one for me. [/QUOTE]
