[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17874"] I cull cattle for less reason than that. I've got a few that I want to ship just because they are difficult to corral. A few bad apples spoils an entire herd. Being protective is very natural, but I assure you that many cattle WILL let you investigate the calf, while they keep a close eye. Get rid of high strung cattle. Keep them out of the breeding system. > I just had a baldie heifer calve a > few days ago. If I get within 50 > yards of she gets pretty angry and > wants to charge.
