[QUOTE="preston39, post: 316420, member: 1487"] just..., Get the mother away from the calf and dispose of it. Two pick up trucks in a v formation between her and the calf works great. One truck can traverse back and forth while the calf is being loaded. If she is agressive be ready to dive under a truck. LOL We have a 8' x 6' cyclone fence box on a three point hitch for such instances when we can get to the calf for weighing,etc. Skin it if you wish and put it on another calf ASAP. It works. Also, in lieu of the skin if you can milk her in a head catcher and wipe the milk on the new calf's head down the back to tail head and hips at each feeding she will most likely accept it also. Three/four days and it will be her own. [/QUOTE]
