[QUOTE="bayhorse, post: 227429, member: 4099"] Thanks for all the replies. To clarify, I don't think she is valuable just because she has papers, what I was wondering is if what she does is routine for range cows. If ranchers thought it normal behavior then I would be foolish to sell for beef price when I could get breeding price out of her. You know, one person's trash is another's treasure? The traits important to me may or may not be important to a large producer, personally I think she is quite useless. Just to add, oddly enough, her first calf (a bull now two years old), is very docile. This calf is also a bull. And I have no intention of selling her to anyone except those with the experience to realize what "protective" means. I thought about asking her breeder if he wanted her back, rebred but sans current calf. We took the calf of yesterday so we could treat him more easily, but he won't suck a bottle, so we are having to tube feed him, which won't work forever. He has something like shipping fever, I guess from the weather stress. [/QUOTE]
