[QUOTE="ranchercowgirl, post: 1100441, member: 21811"] sorry about your problem, but happy for you it turned out ok. I find heifers are the most problem, especially if they have a problem calfing. Number one, the briars, I have some blackberries and bullrush, and that can be a big problem. Number two, you are dealing with heifers and a lot of them. Do you have a small pasture you can bring them in next to a chute where you can assist them if needed? Also heifers are the first ones to bail out in trouble. However, if they will not except their calf, I don't care if they have trouble or not and if you give them a chance (severals days to let that calf nurse) and you put her in a chute to nurse, she has to go down the road, as she might do it next year and it is too clostly to keep her, unless you are a hobby rancher. Good Luck on the remaining heifers. One more thing. I raise Angus and Brangus cattle for many years and I have yet to have a Brangus cow leave her calf. [/QUOTE]
