[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1312267, member: 16547"] Long story short I forgot about this heifer. We (at dairy farm) keep our beef cross heifers back. Couple years ago had an Angus x Holstein calve just fine with heifer calf but bunted it, kicked it so back took alot hair of her head (that resulting heifer is a great mother but is Simmental sired) Brought the Angus x Holstein home and milked her and bred her Limmy. What a mistake that was today when the Limmy calved. Found calf out in the yard pounded into the slop cow's head was just covered in manure. Had an Angus heifer calf too so I put her in shed and just let her out and that dang Limmy sired thing just pounded her too. All morning I blamed myself that if yard was clean maybe it been ok but yes still my fault for keeping her with her dam's history but why the heck do some of them do that?! Kicked her out with uncalved cows and she bellering and pawing at the gate to get that other calf yet. [/QUOTE]
