thanks, Mark. You're correct, Holsteins are a terrible excuse of a mother. I wonder what would happen in a year's time if we just let our 200 Holsteins run around on a pasture and try to have calves on their own and take care of them. I don't think we'd have many young'uns alive. And we'd lose a fair amount of the dams, too.
