hi,
We had a calf on the loose for a couple days and I ran it till it to death. It's prob around 140 lbs, so not tiny. It had been on the run all day and I sort of cornered it till it went on it just sort of sat down. I immediately pinned it on its side and it was ok, but VERY hot and breathing hard and rough. I tied its legs, threw it on my shoulders, and then started carrying it to the fence line. after about 5 mins I set it down to take a rest and it was dead.
What did I do wrong? SHould I have let it stand for longer? Rest before I moved it? Not picked it up?
The whole situation sucked and I dont want to do it again. I'm a run a lot and although the terrain was tough I figured I'd just chase it on foot till it tired out. I did and it died.
thanks, Spencer
