[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 593491, member: 2308"] We run all our cows with newborns through the corral after birth, and separate the cow off the calf. Then tagging, banding, dehorning and whatever else you have to do is easy. You don't have to worry about a mama with a bad attitude. But, having said that, we do a lot of our work with them at calving time on foot and bad attitudes don't last. As Victoria said, they better be able to tell the difference between me and a coyote, and if they can't/won't they make the next trip to the sale barn. Haven't lost a calf to a coyote (ever!!) and I don't have to worry about having mama down my back either. But, when working with a calf, I think it is a good idea to separate mama, just to be on the safe side. The only problem I have run into by separating is when I have 5(or sometimes more) new ones in the barn, I have put the wrong tag in a calf on occaision. [/QUOTE]
