[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 58022, member: 220"] Pertaining to the original question of cows that will aggressively defend their young: I lost five calves to wolves out in the pasture this grazing season (overall losses in the community pasture membership numbered 28 calves and 10 cows), and for what it's worth, every cow of mine that had angus in it's background brought back a live calf. I've also noticed that when I'm working the stock with my collies, it's the angus that will usually face up the dog and try and run 'em off. Mind you, the only cow that's ever rolled me at calving time was a sassy fat old hereford...in my defense I was pregnant at the time and not terribly fleet of foot (to say the least). Take care.
