[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1691193, member: 24027"] 8 years ago one of my purebred Angus (ironically named Satan) had twins. Initially claimed both & 3 days later decided to ditch one. Searched 3 days before we finally found the calf, amazingly still alive, and immediately took her to the barn (copious amounts of electrolytes ensued, then replacer). Caught mama & the other twin and brought them down as well, hoping for a happy reunion. Satan threw her rejected calf against the side of the barn, trying to kill it - never seen anything like it. So, I had a bottle calf, currently on her 7th calf & nothing like her mama. And I didn't have to worry about selling Satan because she ended up with lymphoma. Karma's a bytch! It happens. And there's a big difference between aggressive mamas & protective mamas. Aggressive towards their calf or me earns them a ride. Protective, but understanding she needs to keep an appropriate distance when I work their newborn, is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
