[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1401375, member: 20580"] Hope these picture links work. If they don't let me know and I will upload them tomorrow night. We were excited to finally get a heifer calf out of an AI pairing after 3 years when we got nothing but bulls from that sire the previous 2 years. Then about a week later we found the mother dead just 5 hours after doing chores. We think she laid down in some mud (which for this time of the year is rare here) and had troubles getting up and wound up bloating up and dying. Was our best 1st calf heifer too so hate losing some promising genetics.

Couldn't be more thrilled we found a good home for the orphan calf but still stings losing the mama cow as she was a really good mother to the calf.
