[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1157554, member: 14878"] Steve, your initial post had me thinking of something else. Maternal is such a subjective buzzword. IT means something different to everyone. Kind of like linebreeding :) Cows being attentive to their calf in the first few days is a good thing. After a week or so I think they act kinda like deer and their calf beds down in a "nest" so momma can go eat. Paddocks changes are not exactly in their DNA. Ranch cattle are especially shocked by this. Most cattle are set stocked as I am sure you know. When we have to move fields not just up one paddock with polywire, we muster everyone up. Calves usually go for milk and mother up. Then we move everyone. I guess what I am sayin is you are askin maybe a tad bit too much. I would probably ship the one that went after your wife. That would be the last time mine ever helped me thats for sure :) [/QUOTE]
