[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 693597, member: 13"] When we brought her home as a 2-year-old bred for her second calf, she was a bit "alert." :) We had to be sure she was in the middle of the herd when we moved them. During the winter, we fed cubes in the corral and she calmed down fine....until she had her calf in the spring. While that calf was small, she refused to go into the corral. She didn't run away, she just wouldn't take that calf into the corral. Then they went on grass and by weaning time, they were both easy enough to handle. She's not a pet, but now I can walk within arm's reach of her when I walk through the herd. Any closer and she'll start backing away. And that's fine with me. She's got a Lead On bull calf this year and he doesn't make me happy, but I don't know if it's her fault or the bull's? My low indexing heifer is also a Lead On. :o I'm sorry to hear about Northern Rancher. I hope he's better soon. [/QUOTE]
