Probably the most docile cow I have has been looking like she was going to deliver any minute for about 4 days now. For 3 days she looked like it hurt her to even walk. Found her today in a mesquite thicket with the new baby. She thought I stood there (about 12 ft. away) a little too long after taking the picture and charged me. She kept coming and I realized she wasn't going to stop. Luckily, when I yelled and waved my arms she did stop about a foot from me and I got a tree between me and her. About that time baby got up and ran (yay, it's healthy) and she left to take care of him. I have had them stomp and paw and even feint like they were coming at me, but this was my first time to have one get serious about it. She will hide a few days then bring baby to the herd and be docile again. All's well that ends well.
