Noticed my favourite cow bagging up the other day which threw me as she calved mid march last year, bit of discharge a couple of days ago and she started acting like calving was imminent, just found 2 dead calves,fully formed but small,about the size of a large terrier!
Gutted!
What do you think may have caused her to abort them?
Should I be worried?
What should I do with the cow now?
I have a small herd and don't have room for passengers so I'm looking to sell the crosses to buy in more pedigrees however I was going to keep her as she has tonnes of milk and always rears a very good calf,she is also a bit of a pet,this would have been her 4th calving.
My head says cull her my heart says give her another chance!
Typical as I've got a horrible little lim cross that has crap calves and a bad attitude I'd have happily loaded her up tomorrow if it was her!!!
