[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 1216903, member: 16842"] I went out on a limb yesterday and purchased a stunted 13 month Fullblood Gelbvieh heifer. She was born December 16'th 2013 her dam died 7 weeks later. The calf survived running with the heard possibly nursing on the other cows when she could. We had a cold winter and a late spring so she received no breaks. I bought her with a group of 3 other yearling fullbloods and there is no comparison in size and I would estimate her weight at 325#. I put her in with a 2 month old calf that lost his mother 2 weeks ago. My question would be what experience has anyone else with raising a heifer into a productive cow after a start like this.
