[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 633399, member: 968"] Yes, we had a calf only hours old do the same thing to me. Would beller and charge at me. I thought "well he's just frightened and doesn't know what to do" - wrong. He was nutso from then on. Beautiful - but NUTS if alone. If you kept him with the group, he was fine. Just couldn't seperate him. Warned my feedlot guy, and he was fine with it, so he took him. Didn't have any trouble with him. I think that first contact with people should be a somewhat "pleasant" experience - even tho we give them two shots, eartag them & hang them to weigh them. I still like to keep them as calm as possible. There was no calming that calf down. Screw loose from the getgo. [/QUOTE]
