[QUOTE="bayhorse, post: 228579, member: 4099"] Jersey Lilly- Actually I'm not new to cattle, but we have always had dairy cows and crossbred beef cows raised in pastures where they see people frequently and none have done this stuff, whether they would chase predators I don't know. Thanks for giving a ranch point of view. If all this one did was blow and investigate it wouldn't be a problem, but she actually charged and knocked my brother down when we were still ten feet away from her and the calf. I'm getting rid of her because she doesn't fit here, just trying to decide how. You make me think maybe someone would value her as a brood cow, I just don't know how to find them. Do you work your cattle on horseback? I have a broke horse but she is pretty graceless and I think the cow would take her on. To anyone who wants an update: The calf is still off of the cow but he has actually gotten much sicker. No idea what he has because scours and/ or breathing hard are not among his symtoms. He had a fever, now it is normal but he is uncoordinated when walking. He always chews constantly as though chewing a cud but doesn't seem to eat enough solids to do so. He's had electrolytes, Vetsulid, Naxcell, selenium, B vitamins... The only thing we haven't tried is Corid for coccidiosis, but he doesn't have the symtoms for it. Since he doesn't have scours he is still on milk (tube-fed). Can't tell whether he is better or worse tonight. [/QUOTE]
