That can't be a donor cow--she's actually nursing a calf! They have to be unproven, overfat, virgin heifers to make donors. Just kidding, your cows look great and were certainly enjoying their treat. Just wondering if you were goin to try to breed the cow you are flushing back to carry a natural calf again this year?
i'm going to try and make a policy of flushing a cow like this every 10 yrs or so and putting a portion of the embryos in storage - kind of a failsafe. i wish we would have done it in the past.
what would be the reason not to try and breed her back - she's got roughly 75 days to breed back before the end of my calving season.
i really love the younger cow in the bunch - i can lose track of time watching her.
