[QUOTE="footballjdtractor, post: 593341, member: 6290"] We are in the middle of calving. I always try to tag the calves within a day or two of birth so I know which calf belongs to which cow and so I can tell when a calf is new. The cows seem more protective and mean this year than in the past. I have only been able to tag about half of them. What may have caused their mood change this year? If I only keep replacement heifers from the tame cows will I eventually breed this out of them? A friend said to hit the cow in the nose with a club when she charges and they eventually can be trained, this seems like a bad idea to me and might only make the cows worse. Right now my method is to tag and run and hope I don't trip. [/QUOTE]
