[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 226856, member: 2258"] See that's my point, she's only doin what she feels is necessary to protect her calf. People!!!!! These are NOT pets!!!! It's their natural instinct to protect. If you want a cow that will let you walk up to her calf out in the pasture and not even blow at you once, go right ahead, those calves will be the first one's eatin by a coyote, buzzard, dog, or whatever preditor you may have in your area. NO Thanks!!! Gimme some cows that wanna do their job. Yes it makes our job a lil more difficult, and you hafta either be real quick to tag, or whatever your doin, or pen it where mama can't get to you. There's alot of our calves in the pasture right now that don't have tags in their ears.....there's a reason for that, it's cuz mama has taught them well, ya can't walk up on em, they run. So they'll get a tag when the whole herd is penned and worked in a month or so, cows sorted off to another pen or turned out, and calves worked last. That way we don't hafta deal with the cows snortin and blowin on our back pockets. [/QUOTE]
