[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 972078, member: 1974"] I had a cow just the opposite. She was flighty when being worked but not agressive. A couple years ago I saw her in the process of calving but no calf appearing. I walked her away from the herd, through a couple other pastures & several gates to get her in the calving pen. Got her caught on my own, gloved up and the first thing I found was a tail. I called the vet, he got the tail first calf out(dead), went back in and got a live twin. I turned that cow loose and she went bonkers! She went over a gate and through several electric fence wires. I fed the calf and called it a night. The next day I brought her back to her calf and she was flighty, took her calf and ran. The next year, similar problem. Again, I penned her, found the calf upside down and pretty far in. Vet got the calf out alive. This time I had everyone get clear away before I turned her loose, and then I got out of eyesight. She calmed down and all was well. It's almost like this cow knew she needed help and accepted it, and after we helped her she didn't want anything to do with us. [/QUOTE]
