[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 515555, member: 873"] We USED to have a cow like what everyone has described, I knew nothing would ever get her calf - and she stayed around because she raised the biggest one every year. She was smart enough to know that if you had a paddle or sorting stick to stay just at the end of it's range. But lookout if she got closer than that, you would be testing gravity, her last calving season with us she calved during one of those lovely winter storms where it was 20 below with a wind chill that dropped it to roughly 30 - 40 below. We had to lock her up to calve to make sure the calf wouldn't freeze as it was being born. My husband used her head as a "help" over the 6' corral fence several times and swore he was done dealing with her. The funniest thing she would do was anytime she was in the squeeze chute was to try to bite anyone who got close - she knew that she couldn't get you any other way. [/QUOTE]
