It is me again, still trying to get this situation down. My calf is doing great as far as health issues go, there are otehr issues however that are starting to crop up that bother me. The biggest problem that I am seeing is that she will not go near the pins still, I know she isn't that old yet but she is grazing now, and the mother cow has put the fear of god into her about the pins. Everytime she gets near them she is run of by the cow and she is taken about 100 yards away from the pins. THe motehr is not a bad mother and takes good care of her calf but has proven to be over protective. When we bring our cattle in we hold them in the pins for a short stay, of about a week, week and a half. My hiefer however has not had that benifit and she does not stay in the pins when we feed. Any sugestions to get her used to the idea of the pin or am I expecting too much too soon for a young calf.
