[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1111070, member: 7509"] Even the gentlest cow can get dangerously protective of her calf right after calving. Some folks try to tag or band calves right after they are born an d wonder why the cow is charging them. As calving season approaches in the north I urge folks to be careful. In my opinion there is nothing so important that needs to be done that it is worth getting hurt. I tried it and gave up after a few close calls. Mine now get random number tags at the first workup about a month after the last calf is born. The whole herd goes through the chute and gets whatever is needed. My vet gives them whatever shots he recommends and we cut most of the bull calves. Later I note which calf tag number is sucking on which cow, enter that in Cattlemax and no problem. Tagging or banding a calf is not worth getting hurt. Jim [/QUOTE]
