[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1619673, member: 16453"] Shell, I have a registered herd so I tag and weigh them soon after birth. All my original cows that I bought from another breeder I found too risky to do out in the paddock, I got lifted pretty high by one cow. The cows were very quite and used to me walking through them but come calving time they knew I was out to get their baby. My herd is now all home bred except for one and the attitude of my cows is much different around calving now, I don't take chances and calve close to the yards so I run them in to process but if need be I will do them out in the paddock without problems. I don't have these cows tame where I pet them but there just seems to be a bit more trust with these home bred cows. Give your cows a few days and most will start to accept a bit more handling as the calves become less precious. Make sure you keep dogs miles away. Ken [/QUOTE]
