So I had one of these old desert cows calf. The calf is dead. Doesn't look like it ever stood up. Probably had the sack over its nose. Hey, it happens. But I have a twin now a bottle calf in the barn so it is graft time. Getting the cow to graft to out of the field was an adventure. She will kill you. You certainly don't want to be on foot around this cow. Got her in the corral and let her calm down. She will still kill you. Got her in the chute. This graft is really going to work. Nothing like an aggressive calf to help a graft. Then the old witch went down in the chute. Fought like crazy to get her out. But once out she still wouldn't stand. Checked her before dark. She had moved some but no way to tell if she had stood to move or not. Day light this morning will tell. If she doesn't stand she wont live long. But I don't feel like getting killed trying to save a cow. I am getting too old for this crap.
