[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1116359, member: 9096"] I'm with MO_cows... Last night at 2 am one of my rather big and excitable cows had her calf in the field... she's about 1800 lbs, and has an aggressive streak in her... so far she has never been 'clobbered' for it, but it made for an interesting job getting the calf up to the corrals... she was pretty good compared to other years though. Last year she was so excited about her calf I swear she nearly killed it licking it and rolling over... it nearly looked like a cat playing with a mouse, and you certainly wouldn't have wanted to get close then. Her sister has the same aggesiveness, and my cow who's a real witch at calving, well, she's the only one who's experienced the 3/4" breaker bar over the poll, and at 10 years old, she is starting to learn and get better... She has a miserable udder that no calf can find, so it needs a little help.. and she behaved like a dairy cow in a stanchion when I got her in the headgate. I always give myself an 'out' when I'm with the newborns... and as heifers I can tell even if they're tame, they have that look in their eye that tells me to watch my back. I have 3 daughters of the old witch and they're all really good. [/QUOTE]
