[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1672294, member: 25884"] You know, one kept animal is not going to make or break you, right? So, keep her. If she does not breed back you have your answer. If she does and has a calf and raises it, good. If she has another problem, you have wasted a years worth of feed at best, you bury her at worst. Every one of us has kept one that was a mistake.... and kept one that turned out good. We have kept a few we shouldn't have. Kept a few that I am not sorry we did and they did good. I have buried a couple that were more than "just a cow". Buried my first guernsey milk cow, buried my first beef cow that was the foundation of many of my current offspring. But, I also accept that I am NOT RUNNING AN OLD AGE RETIREMENT HOME for cattle. So, if you feel the emotional/sentimental need to keep her.... do it. Down the road you may feel differently. This is a connection that you presently need. [/QUOTE]
