[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1304897, member: 6291"] Shoot the cow in the head that wants the wrong calf, take her calf to some one who jacks with bottle calves, and let the other cow calf be on their way. :D Cows and calves mix all the time. I've seen grandmothers milking their off-springs calves, 2 or 3 hanging off one cows. It doesn't matter as long as they are getting taken care of. I've had some play tricks on me when we were matching up especially on the solid blacks but that's why I put a description and sex. Just a little extra info to help. A lot of times you catch them in the pasture with the right momma and it all works out. If they are in the pen its done. You separate the cows and calves. Some times you can literally wait a couple hours. Start turning 10 calves at time to the cows and write the numbers down. When they have been separated a couple hours and them calves get hungry, momma's bag gets full, they go to each other like opposite ends of a magnet. :) It works with 30 cows or 300. You can't have 300 momma calving and be out there catching every calf as it hits the ground with out full time hands. The argument for that not working is people who put cattle in areas to calve that don't have pens. Which I understand also. We have to wait some times until the cattle get rotated around to pastures close to the pens. That's not the vast majority. I'm not going to get in to a pissing match over who's hat is bigger with you. Lets just say I've had my fair share of experiences with high headed cattle. Have you ever met cattle down here on the Gulf Coast? That's all that can survive. :tiphat: (... and being a little high headed is not bad if you know how to handle it) [/QUOTE]
