[QUOTE="pasomare, post: 208200, member: 3768"] Hey, this brings back not so fond memories! We bought a preg. cow, her own last years heifer and kept them for a couple of years. (Yes, I'd like to testify, they do know how to use those horns!) Momma wasn't all that bad, heard she started out life in a petting zoo, the heifer was so wild, never did get her halter broke, and she had to be shot with a high powered anesthetic gun just to give her vaccinations. The old cow calved in late May, the little bull calf was born with so much hair he near died from heat prostration and pneumonia, was on anti-biotic shots for six weeks. Needless to say, we had to bottle raise him in the cool barn, momma would not come in. He grew up to be the absolutly tamest bull I've ever seen, he just had NO respect for fences. I guess all that hair was a good insulator. Had to go looking for him to lead home just about every day, or everytime he heard a cow bawl somewheres else. Since he was de-horned and registered, he brought a really good price at the spring sale, guess I kinda miss the little critter. Good luck with the highlanders, just don't breed them to calve in warm weather! paso [/QUOTE]
