[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1620002, member: 24816"] The calf was thin and moving slower every day that it was on the cow. The heifer looked like she had a little bit of an udder. Like you said I have seen them raise a decent calf without having a lot of udder development, but then we had a Santa Gertrudis that didn’t have much of one and as long as you poured the feed to her the calf was decent but as soon as it dropped off the calf was looking pretty rough. We sold her cause it wasn’t practical to special feed her when the others were doing good without extra. Last year we had a longhorn cross heifer didn’t seem to have much milk yet sold a 10 month old Angus cross steer off of her that weighed 560 and I doubt the cow would weigh 900. I think he was probably over 450 when weaned. [/QUOTE]
