I don't see them around anymore, but on calving day, and for the next couple weeks after, you couldn't get within 100 yards of a pen The neighbor had a herd of 50-60, and when you'd ride by them doing checks, the cows would storm out of the bushes and try to take your horse out from under you.

Yes, we've had a few of these over the years. Last one bought herself a one-way ticket last spring. Couldn't get near her from the time she went into labor until the calf was a month old - even then it was iffy.
