[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 532379, member: 1258"] Becky, Very odd, you don't happen to be a picture taker and maybe have a before and after shot? Did the vet give you an educated guess on why the calf was still-born? As for disposition it really depends on the cow. I have seen them go both ways. Had one that had a dead calf and she was certain I was the cause. I couldn't get near her, had a calf the next year and I couldn't be within 50 feet of her calf without her charging- needless to say she left us. I've had others that seem to relax with time and some that relax are touchy with their calves the first year following a dead calf. I would like to get a better definition of what you consider very gentle and practically wild. That's different for different people. I will tell you this, if you could pat her before and she came up to be scratched and now she is shaking her head at you load her up today. Don't keep a pet cow gone mean. They have no fear and if they decide they don't like you and they don't fear you then you could be asking for trouble. [/QUOTE]
