[QUOTE="Col Reb, post: 1681205, member: 22810"] Not really a calving or breeding question but more of a momma cow/calf issue. I have cow that has jumped the fence into the neighbors empty pasture & had a calf. Just after the calf was born another neighbor’s Great Pyrenees dogs tried to attack the calf but the momma cow kept them at bay. I’ve never had an issue with the cow but now she is quite vigorous. She pawed, snorted & shook her head at me & charged at the neighbor trying to help me get her home. 5 days of unsuccessful attempts of getting her into a panel corral or through the gate back to my pasture. My dad says be thankful she hasn’t hurt anyone yet & take her to the sale barn. My wife says she’s just traumatized from the attack & is obviously a good momma . Opinions would be appreciated. All of my cows have been fairly docile & I’ve never had one I couldn’t lead with a bucket until now. Heck, I’m a little leery walking in front of her at this point but thinking if I can ever get her back home with the other cows she’ll be fine especially when the new wears off the calf. Thoughts?
