[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1116297, member: 17767"] In the thread on the senior gentleman near me getting mauled by a cow with a calf, there seems to be an effort to have it "both ways". I have often seen comments to the effect that a cow is expected to protect her calf from coyotes, dogs and other threats in the pasture. If that is so and protection of the calf is considered a trait to be coveted, then it only follows that a cow with that nature is going to express that same trait when she perceives a threat from a human. It is therefore the producers responsibility to protect himself from a cow with calf. As pdfangus said: [i]armed or not I would not shoot a cow for doing her job....[/i] [/QUOTE]
