[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1691079, member: 9933"] I did wonder if that cows behavior only happened when I was watching, but there was no way to know that. I only actually saw her calve once, and that was from a good distance away using binoculars. I heard her calve more than once and saw her pushing the calf when we came over to check it out. She would do that until the calf was a week or so old. She would also take off after, and head butt any calves that came near her own for about the first week. Fortunately she would hide out and calve far away from all the others and only bring it down later. Strangely she was never aggressive towards us and was actually quite friendly. She gave me a bad scare once though. I was out in the pasture and had walked up to look at a new calf that was hiding in the brush. As I walked back towards the ATV I saw her about 100 yards down hill. She suddenly turned and came running across the pasture towards me like I was about to die. She was there in a second and only then did I realize that little calf had gotten up and was following me. She hit him and knocked him down. I yelled at her and after hitting the calf again she took off back down the hill towards her own calf. To this day I have no idea what she was thinking. [/QUOTE]
