Every year we have a couple hard pulls on our two year olds.
Sometimes they are slow to get up or stagger around when they do get up. I think they pinch a nerve.
Most are up and going within an hour or two, however we've had them down for days. Only one in the last 10-15 years didn't make it.
What would you guess the heifer weighs?
Calf weight?
Our Angus heifers weigh 1100-1200(or more) and every once in awhile we pull a calf in the 80-90 lb range.
As was mentioned buy a calf puller, especially if you're going to buy bred stock.
Momma 925#? Calf was probably 75#, but it was oversized.
Encouraging to read that you've had them down for awhile and still made it. I'll keep everything she needs near her, she wants to survive.
