[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1804616, member: 498"] As the saying goes, trust your neighbors but brand your calves. A dry cows goes out to the hills. She calves out there. At some point during the summer she is seen once or twice with a calf tagging along behind. Fall comes and she arrives with no calf. Where did the calf go? Get sick and died? Predators ate it? It fell off a cliff? It is in someone else's pen with their brand and ear tag? Heck, it could be in their pen still slick but without a bawling cow and/or calf good luck proving who that calf belongs to. Knowing it and proving it are two different things. Things can be pretty old west around here but not entirely like it was in the 1800's. [/QUOTE]
