[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 749737, member: 13859"] I have wondred if maybe we havent took some of natures mothering ability away from some cattle by being over protective and just being inthe way to much. As a kid growing up here nobody ever got up at night,we didnt shed calf,we didnt calve in cold weather,we wen t throughthe cows on our way to school and on the way home and seemed like we got along allright. Guess we sold a few fat dry's in july and we needed the money a long about then.Those that had big calves must have eliminated themselves along with any other problemsI'vebeen through the winter calving,calving like lambing sheep,going without sleep,etc. Really makes me wonder if we are'nt causeing more problems than we really need.My Dad,Grandad, Father-in law, all pretty successfull ranchers in their time beleived that a cow lived to work for us and sometimes it seems tat we work for the cattle. Just a thought from a old man! [/QUOTE]
