Real sorry to hear that Maggie lost her calf. I know it feels like a kick in the gut when you lose a calf. Thankfully, the cow is going to be fine. Hoping for better luck next time.

Agmantoo this was her first calf.She was almost 4 months along.He didn't really say why just that she could be bred on her next cycle after I give her a shot. It sure has been rough on me Dh didnt believe me that she was aborting he said I must have missed her heats after she was bred.

hi
Wild Horse, sorry to hear about Maggie. Next time will hopefully be trouble-free. I can't remember the cow's breeding arrangements, distance from bull etc. I recall sending you this site, maybe give it a go if you have a rep. in your region...This is only one of many companies, but it's the one I use.....Topside
