My cows calve on pasture.
I give the calves calfguard - one of those viral scours vaccines. If it is muddy, I also give one for e-coli.
I have not had problems with scours - other than the occasional milk scours which do not really seem to be a big issue.
My question is:
Am I likely to get run over by a cow?
How many of you walk into your paddocks and do this by yourselves?
My cows have good temperaments, but I have heard that after birthing the hormones can be running high.
So far none have acted aggressively.
But am I being an idiot?
Any tips?
