[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 955605, member: 6543"] I was raised and trined under the manage them to death live with em 24 hours a day paradigm of the universities.... over the years I have figured out that the cows are supposed to work for me and not vice versa..... over the last thirty years of having my own cows and working a regular job, and culling problem cows.... I have built a herd that was pretty much problem free and adapted to our environment.... my new neighbor has red angus and he still ultra manages and he has spent more in veterinary interventions in the last two years than I have spent in the last twenty.... he gets afraid of cows having calving problems and has the vet induce them which pretty much guarantees calving problems.... just a few weeks ago had a day old calf that he thought was just a little off and had some loose manure on its tail....tried to catch it until he was worn out and then came to me for help....I said that if he couldn' catch a day old calf there was a chance that it was not sick....and if you have been chasing it for a half hour it certainly will have an elevated temp.....sometimes we create our own problems...
