[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 842962, member: 12607"] pied, I've come to the point that if I feel the need to do something with a new calf, it better be wet and not yet up on its feet, or I'm gonna wait until it's had 48 hours or so to bond with the dam. They're just stupid/crazy in that first 24-48 hrs; guess it's just 'flight' instinct taking over. I've had 'em run a half-mile, pass right by the cow and bail off into a rain-swollen creek , or run a half-mile the other way, crossing 4 or 5 fences and a highway, if you so much as look at 'em cross-wise during that first day or so.
