[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 615053, member: 5106"] I have had a couple like that, gentle cooperative animals until they start calving or that baby hits the ground. One to be fair I understand as I took her calf away from her because she never got up after calving as a heifer and her baby was pretty much a popsicle when I found her. I had bring her home to save her life. When I reunited them mom had it in for me from then on, went out of her way to come at me sometimes..After her 4th calf I said enough of this and when her calf was weened she went for slaughter. The other was one of my herd bosses, she was the most gentle animal, you could even AI her without putting her in the shoot. With her I put up with it as she was an expensive and beautiful animal and always gave me an extremely good calf. Plus I wanted some papered replacement stock out of her. So we had an agreement, I stayed the H out of her way until her calf was about 4 months old and then she didn't care anymore, she went down the road this fall because she had a VP last winter. I have her daughter due in a couple of weeks , I will definitely keep my distance just in case. I have never shot a cow for coming at me, doesn't mean I haven't thought of it though :cowboy: .
