[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1575114, member: 37967"] That's fine, no problems with that strategy at all. I've heard the donkeys do a great job and have thought about getting one to see for myself. This calf actually was born in the pasture, I brought them in the barn for a couple of days and then turned them out to another pasture. I bring them in more so to work on the calf, weigh, blood sample, shots, etc. As for predators, this momma was standing close watch on the baby because the vultures were pretty close by, just minutes after she calved. They have a strong sense that calves are near. I'm serious when I say this, I can almost be assured that a cow or heifer has calved when I see vultures above in a large group. That's how bad they are becoming. My grandfather never had to deal with coyotes and black vultures. Lucky him. [/QUOTE]
