Sorry it didn't go as planned/hoped. :hugs Maybe the next calf will be a success. Will you breed her again or cull her?

We were playing it by ear with this calf. This is her second calf that did not survive past a week. She will be going to town along with another cow(My bottle calf's momma) and a very psycho bull.

It's always a crap shoot when we decide to give one a "2nd chance" after previous calving problems. Sometimes it works out..sometimes it don't.

I took a chance on one 3 years ago after she couldn't calve unassisted and I pulled a dead calf. She's raised two nice ones since, and calved unassisted both times.
Took a chance on one last year that aborted and this year, she's open again. Vet checked her-- clean of trich.
Bye Bye cow.
