[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1312697, member: 18945"] Something else. When I got done with the calf's navel and doctoring it, momma hadn't moved other than laying there breathing and the calf was already trying to stand up. I walked up and patted momma on the neck, and she raised her head up, looked at me and jumped up on her feet and tore out like a banshee across the little pasture, running zig zag toward the other heavy breds that are in another little pasture near the house. Ran right over a box blade, nearly fell and then hit the fence at a full run and right thru it. Cut her legs and brisket area up pretty good. I got her back to the pen by calling all of the breds into it, and saw it was more doctor work than I wanted to try to deal with--flies already starting here. So I carried calf to her in the pen, let her lick and nurse, loaded her, picked calf up and put it in the trailer & hauled her and calf to the vet and let her sew momma up, give her a couple shots (a tet and some antibiotics) and she look the calf over while I was there. I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come in the next couple weeks...couldn't be prettier weather for all this tho. [/QUOTE]
