[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1462746, member: 25884"] I'm with you on this one slick. I don't think that it is fair for a single to have to try to fight off a group of older, bigger cows. If there was at least one other she could keep company with they would probably sort it out a little better. And I do not agree with the comment that you will have to baby or make excuses for her daughters. I don't think it is fair to her to have to try to be more than she is until she gets some growth. I would try to find someone to run with her, like Kenny said, and then sell it down the road when she is big enough to fight for her place in the herd. She needs a chance to get a decent meal to grow. I do not believe in raising my 300 lb weaned calves with the 700 lb calves. We raise all our similiar sized heifers together, and calve them together, so they don't have to fight off bigger more aggressive cows when they are just getting started. I'm not saying they get babied, they just don't have to try to compete with older boss cows until they figure out what is what. [/QUOTE]
