[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 729774, member: 7509"] Even my gentlest cows get a look in their eye when I tried tagging some of the calves right after birth. Working by myself I decided it wasn't worth the risk. I found one calf hidden on the edge of the woods while the cows were in the corral getting a treat. As soon as I held the calf to weigh and tag it, he started bellowing and the whole herd came running at about 60 mph! At that point I decided we could probably wait. I now leave them alone until until the vet and I work them the first time at about 200 pounds in mid May. The we weigh them, ear tag them, they get their first shots and the bull calves are cut. Much safer. They go back out on good grass. Catch them in the chute. Jim [/QUOTE]
