[QUOTE="rockroadseminole, post: 1469801, member: 24842"] I've got the same issue with one. It always seems to happen with one heck of a mama cow. Last year we did the flap and said that we'd sell her bred. Her calf turned out to be a scale buster, bred back in first cycle, and I decided to give her another chance this year. Age didn't do anything. Still a thief... Super disappointed about it. Our calf prices are still pretty good, but you take a single red angus cow to our sale barn right now, $800 for a pair. I just can't see where her stealing milk is economically worse than selling an otherwise good cow for $600-900. Can someone help me with that math, because I want to give her the 30-06 treatment every time I see her latched on to one tit while the calf is latched on to another. Sneeks up right behind the other cow as the calf nurses. She's been kicked a thousand times... [/QUOTE]
