[QUOTE="4hfarms, post: 1654587, member: 39740"] Yes, we had a jack and Jenny in an adjacent field over the summer. During the hot month of July, we ran dry in the creek so I opened the gate to join the pastures. The other pasture (the donkey pasture) has a spring that feeds the creek the cows were in. I went for lunch and when I returned after less than an hour..... When I came through the gate I saw the Jack was chasing our older cow around the field at full speed. Her calf was outside the fence watching. The other cows were gathered in a defensive semi circle position in the bottom of the pasture against the creek. They were guarding a dead calf in a semi circle. I picked up a large stick to see if I could cut the chase and then the cow went through the barbed wire and the donkey stopped just short. They showed each other hate for a few moments through the wire. Then chase the donkies through the gate and closed it behind them. The calf was only a few days old, born on the 4th of July. I did correct the situation with the pastures since then. The donkies were sold not long after. If I would have had my rifle, I would have burried another animal. I found out from others it is normal Jack behavior. Little too late! [/QUOTE]
