[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 936094, member: 15537"] I find it easier to handle a young calf with a cow. If the cow was a good cow, I would have let the cow out with the calf. Then once they pair up (give them a few minutes) I would move them back together. Either make a gate in the fence or cut the wire and fix it later. The cow should want to get the calf and then head back to the herd... but they don't always do what they should. It would work good if you have the right kind of cow. Could make things worse if you had a wild cow. None of this will do you any good now. $hit happens. You must be a good athlete to run a calf that hard on foot in rough country. And then carry the calf back to the fence. :tiphat: Wow! [/QUOTE]
