[QUOTE="rainie, post: 354898, member: 6006"] I also remember riding up to a cow one time and thought she was dead for sure from a distance. The ravens were hopping around on her and picking holes in her. She had been down I am guessing for at the very least 2 days, from the amount of manure behind her. Was very surprised to see she was still alive. Damn ravens did a number on her though. I gave her a little pull, didn't take much, and she got right up. She was really shaky and stressed. Didn't even hardly move when I walked up to take the rope off her head.We left her alone for a bit, to get her bearings again, while we checked the rest of the cattle in the field.We watched from a distance when she went for a drink of water and started to graze with the rest of the herd.We went back the next day and treated her raven holes. She made it through the rest of the summer with no problems. Lucky cow. I don't know how much longer she would have lasted. [/QUOTE]
