When I sold my dairy cattle 5 years ago,I brought my heifers in and put them in stanchions for the winter. I didn't notice any problem,but when I turned them out,one bumped in to everything on the way out the door. Somehow,she'd gone blind if she could even see when I brought her in. She was bred,so I kept her around and ran her with the rest of the brood cows. I kept her around for two calves. She would have trouble at first keeping track of the calves,I'd have to take them to her for the first few days. The beauty of her was,she'd feed anything. She raised a twin that got abandoned. Problem was,they would ALL pile on to her and by fall,she'd have a body score of about two. She was kind of a pain when I'd move them to new pasture because she didn't always follow the rest. I'd have to put her in the feedlot with the steers in the winter so she was right close to water and didn't have to trudge through the snow to find it. I finally took her to the sale barn on "rail cow thursday".
