[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 648572, member: 839"] :nod: :nod: Yup. I got rid of old 1049 for that reason. Difficult to deal with, tore up too much stuff, bent up too many gates, and came after me too many times. When she had a calf, it was best to stay far away from her. As for #47, she can be a bit high-headed, but fairly easily workable. This year when she had her calf (3rd) she made it clear that I would not be doing any tagging or banding by myself. The one good thing about her mothering attitude is that she will come running if [i]any[/i] of the calves sound the alarm, and chase any dog or other canid out. If I am the cause of a calf bawling, once she sees that it isn't her calf, she walks off. As for bottle-feeding, let momma raise that calf. Katherine [/QUOTE]
