[QUOTE="rjk, post: 442778, member: 1019"] Sounds like good advice has been given, best to learn from those with experience. One thing I like to do with new cows is put them in a corral for a couple of days to watch their temperment. If you can feed in a pen where you can get in and out without getting in trouble, then if comfortable, cautiously stay in pen when they are eating. Some of my cows, especially with calves get irritated when corraled, so pay attention to them and don't turn your back. If you have a good cow dog, that will sit until called, leave her back a bit, and if you need her, call and run. If they aren't calm enough for you, or you suspect problems, take to sale barn, even if you lose a few bucks, beats doctor bills, or a herd that gets the same way as her. Where else can you sell a girl who doesn't want to get along? good luck, rick [/QUOTE]
