In the last week, I calved out six cows, three were ET calves, all out of my TOP cows and MATERNAL BULLS!! Maternal bull sires used were...OCC Legend, Backlash, Conclusion 437, Theobald 969 and Nutt-N-Butt Business.
ALL BULL CALVES!!
:'(
Make that seven for seven. Also, had another Conclusion 437 x Hannibal (OCC Anchor x Crossbred cow)
And so the story goes on...Wednesday Afternoon, 03/16/2011
ET Calf in recip cow: OCC Missing Link Sire x Reg Angus OCC 790K Donor Cow
Cow could not calve, sleeved, gave a litttle more time, called vet. Small calf. Vet could not get calf out. Both of the calves front legs were bent back, and it's head bent down under it's belly. Calf was dead, before we started. Cut off both front legs and pushed calf back down in cow to get at head and pull out with snare. Not pretty. Tough situation.
Good News...So far cow is still alive!
Bad news...this "would have been", my first live HEIFER calf from this flush!
Still no heifers yet this year!
