Calfing

[thomas]

THANKS for the advise. I put one calf in the barn las night but it
died. I guess it was to cold. This same cow also lost a calf last year.
Should i take this cow to the sell barn? Or sell her for meat?
the cow is three years old. Would the meat be alright?

Thank for the help again

Sorry about your calf that died. Grandpa always said that the losses on the farm would break any business man in town. So hang in there....you know where you lost it and learn from your experience...hopefully next time will be better

As for the cow.....sounds like a Pizza Hut candidate to me :wink:

I don't know if I'd blame the cow in this deal or not.

If you let the calf stay out in the snow 10" deep & get too cold and freeze....that's not her fault!

10" is a lot for new born baby calf legs to negotiate under the best of circumstances.

I'd not make a hasty decision on her just yet!
