[QUOTE="Wak, post: 1314950, member: 24868"] Thanks, I think I will breed the young heifers back and sell them later on, UNLIKE......about everyone I have bought animals from, except two people. I don't send my problems down the road to someone else, I don't say they are bred if they are not, and am honest as to any problems. This is the only reason, I am think of breeding them back and just see if they calf better.....risky ? Sure, but I am so tired of dishonest folks that will lie to you for a buck. Yes! I have been burnt a few times. I considered jumping in earlier, but the vet was going to be coming any minute....(didn't quite work out that way), and the cow was being pretty calm and not contracting that hard. The vet is great, and I didn't want to make things worse, and in the end .....it did take both of us, and not sure I could have done it by myself......there was no one else to even give moral support. Maybe I screwed up, but the vet said it was about as bad as it gets, 2 big calves, small heifer, stressed, backwards, and she said the second one had been dead for awhile, it was obvious. As for the question, why didn't the heifer take care of the dink? I am not sure, she would push it away, walk off down the field, and I even corralled them together. I have a thread on here with the story. Mostly she just wanted to stump a mud hole in me. Calf is doing great the cow is ought doing what cows do.....she just looks so good, and I am really curious as to what would happen with next years calf....maybe I just don't learn very fast. I am not in this to make a living but don't want to waste money to fast. [/QUOTE]
