[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 628808, member: 2308"] NOT!! anymore at least. It appears that she is going to have a baby :frowns: rather soon, too. She has a bit of a story to her. Born on Apr 22/2007, she had a whopping 205 day weight of 288 lbs. She injured one front leg at about 10 days of age, and just as she got over that she stifled a hip. So more or less, she hasn't been completely sound a day in her life. If she weighed 500 lbs in May when we turned bulls out, that would be optomistic, and that would be the reason she is bred. We just didn't worry about her coming into heat, that, and the fact that she was only with the bulls for about 10 days. I mean, as of Sept 20 she weighed in at 689 lbs, certainly not the greatest gainer we ever had. Well, she had been on full feed from about Dec 1/2008, when one day I took a good look at her and thought, "geez, I don't think that udder is just fat". Well we preg checked her and sure enough it isn't just fat, and we promptly reduced her feed ration to just hay. I just wish that all our 'real' replacements would be as fertile as she is :pretty: Well here she is all 950 lbs(if that) of her. Cross your fingers that she has a nice little calf by herself.[ATTACH type="full" alt="tn_DSC06997.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="tn_DSC07007.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
