Do cows get crazier when they are pregnant or about to deliver? We have a retired couple that live behind our property (the ones we bought the 7 acres from) that like to walk down their long driveway in the evenings for exercise.
We saw them and stopped to chat. There are two very pregnant cows in our front "maternity" pasture. One of the cows started charging the fence at the mans wife. The man was just in the process of telling my husband how she had charged her over the weekend and she did it again. My husband hollered at her and grabbed a sorting stick and whacked the crap out of her face and nose. She looked like she was going to charge again but thought better of it. I swear if he had had a gun, she would have been dead.
He wants to carry her to the sale barn now, I want to wait 2 weeks until she calves. She has been unpredictable in the past, but nothing this aggressive.
Hormonal or just crazy? :help:
