    I had a cow due to calf in late January nothing happened so I called the vet
    and he told me she had a mummy in her. he gave her a shot of prosolvin and she cycled and I delivered the mummy(about the length of my forearm). Since then she has cycled once and I was wondering what lads think should i serve her or should I get rid of her. She had her first calf in jan 2013 and she is a hell of a cow but she was served 4 times before she held even as a heifer. on the mummy she held first time. Opinions would be appreciated.

    Best place is the meat hook unfortunately .the fact she was served 4 times as a heifer before she held is enough.
