Snorty cows are on deck for the cull list. One more offense and they get a ride. Even if she's 90% likely to never hurt me, that 10% can impact my life too much.
Speaking of a touch of ear...

I don't think they said the opposite horn thing when I was at bovine-elite. I don't remember going over how to feel which horn is ovulating in general, but my memory may just be shaky. I do remember them saying that depositing in the cervix if you can't get all the way through still has pretty good success rate (has proven true for me so far).

Well, lets do an update after 2 years. I only have 3 of these left.
Got rid of 3 early on as mentioned back then.
Got rid of another one recently. She lost her calf, still relatively high cull prices, and then tried fighting several people when sorting.
This next one, Ms Scream, she is fine until you close the gate to a lot.haha as Caustic mentioned early on, you lead her into a pen cause you won't push her anywhere she does not want to go. she was the first to calve of these. She has never tried fighting me, just a bit goofy when penned up. Also, when she calved this past spring, if you got too close with her calf, she would start making a noise that i can only describe as growling.heh
These next two, gentle good mamas. The rwf is a giant dog. So tame, you would think she was a bottle calf, which she was not.
