[QUOTE="crofteress, post: 3756974, member: 26144"] Put them out last week, 3 days later she has a big sore bag been lying in a sandy basin ,has a stupid looking udder so 2 back teats lying in the sand had the start of mastitis , hadn't fed her calve for probably a day, so took them all back in spent the last 5 days putting her in the crush and tying her leg to let him feed 4 times a day, gave metacam and allymycin got her udder completely lovely and slathering it in sudocreme too, she was letting him drink fine at home in the shed , so put them back out on grass today and I've just been up she's not let him feed today, he was scared of her before as he got a doing off her so he gives in easy and gets by by poaching of the others. Just wanted to vent as this cow is the only cow I don't actually like and she would bash someone else calve if they look at her, I would happily give her away today if anyone wants her, she always has the best calve though. Edited to add she is not sore she's just walking away quite the thing.The other thing that annoys me is why do somewell known breeders that consign the odd heifer to society sales keep the good ones at home and sell the ones they know fine had mothers with udders that are less than good, poor docility etc , happened to me a few times now, they feel they need to support the sale but send the ones of the mothers that are not top performing for the breed Edited to add again, just looked through the binocs, she is playing the game after all. Thanks for letting me vent [/QUOTE]
