Impeccable!<br /><br />Phaedra- The strange thing in all of this, the neighbor has a mini Dexter who also got bred by the same bull. Calving for her went off without a hitch and they never even knew she was expecting! <br /><br />FV- Some of them Do seem to be born looking for a way to die. A few of them act like they want our help now and then to speed up the process, with some of the stuff they pull. Almost the cow worlds' equivelant of the Darwin awards...<br /><br />In the case of our two though, neither one was involved in anything like that and we did what we could for Holly, thought Buzz was coming back around... then Bam??? So much for this go around, we will just keep our eyes open and look for something else. I am really liking the Herefords though. For meat anyways, Jersey's for milking.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-57327494548823613372012-02-22T07:54:38.442-07:002012-02-22T07:54:38.442-07:00It sucks when it goes wrong like that , so sorry a...It sucks when it goes wrong like that , so sorry about Buzz,and Holly.

And they do. Sorry you lost the big cow to calving problems. I wound up pulling-and just barely-a brangus/jersey bull calf from our little jersey cow. Her third calf so we did not expect problems. Bred her jersey the next go round and had a much smaller sized calf.

We just lost our Fat Faced cow, she died in pasture, no clue why, maybe just old age.. <br />Cows are much like horses. You just never know what's going to happen.Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574914465998507310noreply@blogger.com
