[QUOTE="jschoolcraft86, post: 1771731, member: 27711"] I've had some adventures trying to pen some up in the past as well, but never had one lay down in the pond on me (knock on wood). There have been a couple where I was so sure it had been long enough that the calf wasn't going to be alive when i got it figured out. I know exactly how you felt when you said the mouth moved, it's such a relief. I had to pull one this spring where the head was looking back over the shoulder and when I was finally able to hook a finger in the mouth to reposition the head the calf bit down ever so slightly. I pushed that cow about as far as one can be pushed on my place, through a creek and my pecan orchard and then it took awhile to get it all situated inside, I was shocked when that one turned out alright. Hopefully all mine avoid the "water features" moving forward, that sounds like a whole extra level of stress. [/QUOTE]
