[QUOTE="Alan, post: 531336, member: 378"] I should have said that the age of the calf has a lot to do with what I do, if it's within a couple of days old I just guide it back through the fence. I leave the fence on and try to get them most of the way under without getting shocked. If they are older and on the run that is when I give them time to try to figure it out. I don't take down the fence, I just open the gates and mom knows where to go. I have my cows "trained" to come to my call they know if I yell "come on ladies" there is something good going to happen.... that helps also. I, like many others here, give the new born calf shots and an ear tag within a few hours after they are born, mom will alway take them. But if you are new to cattle have someone to help you with this to watch how mom acts, you don't want to get run over. The biggest key is to stay calm around mom and calf, if you're excited they get excited. Alan [/QUOTE]
