I had one this year that was a pizz poor mother, really didn't do much licking on the calf, doesn't have much milk.. she's a first timer, she's on 2 strikes and at the top of my "cull if I feel like it" list
Another first timer ate pine needles and aborted in October, isn't breeding back so she's going in the freezer real soon, she's in amazing condition so should be really good eating, she's bigger than the steer that's the same age
Another old cow that's really on a short rope is one that EATS EVERYTHING she's not supposed to.. fence insulators, Fence charger power cords, polywire (by the spool if she can get it), garden hoses, bale twine, and even ear tags.. She must have a vinyl deficiency
