[QUOTE="Rosielou, post: 1132172, member: 17488"] So far, we've had a pretty good year so I can't complain much. We had a couple of wild heifer calves but they're simmering down and I figure will get gentle when we wean them. If it is the calf that has been hiding, I'll be glad when he gets the paycheck for it and its gone! I was kind of mad to have worried over her just to find out the sucker had been holed up somewhere that I never found. :? One thing I cannot stand is a wild cow!! This heifer is flighty, which is the reason I was going to sell her, combined with the fact that I don't like the way she's built. My grandfather has one cow leftover from when he sold them off, and the sole reason she is still in the pasture is because we can't ever get her up. I think we're going to either have to just tranq her or just put a bullet between her eyes. She can get the whole dang herd running for no reason!! :mad: My first cow, I was really young but my Grandfather and Dad like to tell me this story, calved in our neighbor's hay field and it took them a few hours to find her. When they found her, she came at them and if my dad had not stepped behind a tree, he would've gotten gored by her horns. They said screw it we'll get her out and fix the fence later and left her alone :lol: She has been gone a long time, but the story still makes me laugh because she was so timid. But I did buy one of those wild, snorting and snotty cows a couple summers ago. She was a 2 yr longhorn x, no horns, and cheap, so I thought what the heck, and while she was trying her best to get the guys in the ring, we bid on her lol. She was eyeing the auctioneer in his stand pretty hard, so they went ahead and let her go. When we unloaded her into the corral she was still snortin mad, and acted like she was going to come at me through the fence. I backed away only to watch her turn and run and crash through the back of the corral. :roll: She was just fine the next day and to this day she is as calm as my others. [/QUOTE]
