[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1402406, member: 17956"] You lose track of time, but about a year, or a year and a half ago, I sold a really really mean cow. Literally a few days later, I caught a donkey i had forever trying to kill a calf. He was involved in a serious farm accident, and that problem was solved. I beat my brains out, trying to figure out why he had never done it before. I finally realized, the old bitty was keeping him in check. I had a pretty good selection, of just old mean cows. The kids are taking a much more active roll in actually working the cattle etc. We've had some close calls, and I decided everything that looked at me crossed eyed had to go. I have been slowly selling off the bad ones as I weaned their calves. I'm down now to a pretty docile herd. (not docile by many standards I see here, but docile). I have had coyotes for as long as I can remember, and never had a single problem. I had actually bought in to the "good coyote" mentality after making fun of it here. Well, low and behold all of a sudden this year, I have lost 2 already to coyotes. No doubt in my mind, those old bad girls were probably keeping them beat back. Those cows were actually pretty good producers for me, and I kinda wish I had them back. I didn't want the kids getting hurt, or making them scared of cattle though. Those 2 calves could have easily been worth $1600-$1800 this fall. All in all, I'd have to say, that I should have rethought selling those bad girls. [/QUOTE]
