[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1666085, member: 38038"] I have only seen the pecking order when introducing new or previous herd mates after being separated for some time. my dominate cow took a ride to town yesterday because she would not let other calves in the group get close to her calf. I have seen younger calves "pick" on a herd mate pretty consistently but do not consider that as pecking order since once dominance is established the pecking order fighting usually stops. I would consider what you describe as being a bully or rest of herd mates finding her as an easy target. To them she may seem a little different for some reason. Hopefully now that she has her calf with her, the others will be more acceptable to her. [/QUOTE]
