[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 62982, member: 190"] Jake has an unfair advantage on this one. She has never been shown. She is a '94 model Polled Hereford. Had a nasty old saler recip mamma. And was a quick study. She goes every bit of a ton the day she drops a 100 lb calf. She is also the reason for the flat bed that is now on the farm truck. And the year we showed her steer calf, well, it is a wonder no one got hurt getting that calf to the barn! I roped him from my then green cow horse, proceded to drag him to the coral all the while she is trying to get my horse. Finally got the calf loaded and into the barn. She ran the fence clear to the barn. Tore the side of the barn off (rough cut lumber). Luckly by then we had him in what we thought was a bull pen. She mangled 3 panel gates, broke a post off in the barn and we now have a "redeye" proof bull pen. She hates all things little, dogs and kids included. But will let a crow sit on the bridge of her nose and eat flys. Have to hurry to put the bale ring over the hay or she puts it in the holler. And those are 1800lb bales. We have a field full of her offspring. But we make sure that they have enough human contact to not act too much like her. The next question is probably gonna be "why do you keep her". Well, anyone that has an excellent producing cow for as long as she has been around will more than likely tell you that she makes you too much money to ship on attitude. She does not rile the other cows up, and untill weaning time she does not tear things up unless you mess with her calves. And keeps to herself when she is dry. That photo was taken with a zoom lens, but she was dry. [/QUOTE]
