"I'll eat your lunch"

[Named'em Tamed'em]

I decided this first calf mom's calf didn't need to be tagged right away!

And they don't get better with age...

Show her your not afraid.

The older I get the more I decide to wait on that.

 

[Named'em Tamed'em]

I don't judge them too much in the first 36-48 hours, but I had one that would almost bring it back to the barn to me.

I was called out once!! Nope, im not fast and I only hurry for supper !

 

[Nesikep]

As much as she tries to look mean, she's a sweetie

Hahaha. When I was younger I had one that was not bluffing. She didn't even let me get close. At about 10 days I could do anything to her calf.

Discretion is the better part of valor I alway heard . The older you get the more discretion you show !

Just because I met my insurance deductible "out of pocket" last month doesn't mean I wanna take a chance.

Like me you have gotten past the point of feeling invincible.

She don't look mean .
She just anxiously awaiting you to tag her baby! Can't wait for it to be a part of the herd officially!
I got mine tagged....
She only chased me around the truck 2 or 3 times

Shes young too. 3rd calf I think.
I'll either sell her this fall or do something different next year!

Just gotta stand your ground!
As long as you keep her calf between you two you should be fine. The ones that are willing to run over their new baby to get you are crazy enough that they don't get to stay nxt yr.

Currently have a cow like that. She'll blow ur her nose in ur back pocket if u get too close first couple weeks. Afterwards, she's like meh. Calved About 2 weeks ago. She last calved in august, gained 1.5 mos this year.

If that happens you are only hoping you have a "next year".

I've only ever had it happen twice; one WAS a first calf hfr who calves in a really muddy spot. I put a feed sack on the calf so I didn't get as muddy carrying it to the barn. She ran right through her new calf and through me over a fence. She went to the feed lot and her calf got sold as a bottle baby. The second was an old cow this yr. She just reached over her calf and hit me. She's on thrill list for fall.

 

[Named'em Tamed'em]

She was blowing snot before I could secure Roy and get my phone out. I already have surgery planned for next Friday she'll be just fine without a tag for now. Two of the next four to calve are real docile, halterbroke.

Anselmo doesn't even have tagging pliers with him!
