[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1849014, member: 32879"] I grew up hearing the older folks saying Sa heifer (pronounced with a drawn out short A or Sah) to a cow that did not want to claim her calf or to a cow you were trying to get take another calf. I heard it so often and from so many I began to use the phrase myself. We said it every time the cow would kick at the calf. I wonder if this is just a local tradition or if some of you use the same phrase. I learned today that Sa (Sah) is an old Anglo-Saxon word going back at least 1500 years, meaning be satisfied. As we old-timers fade away we are losing traditions that date back thousands of years, an almost instinctual relationship with our cattle and livestock. The smart phone and computer are causing us to lose knowledge that is irreplaceable. [/QUOTE]
