[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1762782, member: 9933"] In the past I kept cows like what you describe, but now I expect them to take my offering of hay and let me tag their calf the day it's born. She would probably be fine with someone who doesn't mess with a newborn right away. Like I said, she has never come out of her way to get us, and she is easy to work when she is being put through the chute with others for vaccinations etc, but I'm sure that we will no longer casually walk over and tag her calf. She actually brought it down to the barn the next morning, walked through the gate to get to the hay feeder and left it on the outside. I shut the gate and we tagged weighed, and put on the iodine. She did come over to watch once she noticed what we were up to, but she did not really threaten through the fence. As soon as the gate was opened, she left and headed up the hill with it. If I were younger and more agile I would probably keep her, but I am trying to reduce the numbers here and she is an obvious choice. [/QUOTE]
