[QUOTE="medicinewoman, post: 920652, member: 18249"] Dun, I would attribute her erratic behavior to stress as show life can be very stressful on cattle. Although she may appear in perfect physical condition, emotionally she is not from being taken away from her herd environment and being reconditioned to do things that don’t come naturally to her. Show life for a heifer is far more stressful then being weaned on wheels and shipped through an action house, which often causes shipping fever. As show life is generally a much longer period of time it can even cause them to abort. I have seen many cases of aborted fetuses in heifers within 30 days from being rounded up and worked that I attributed to nothing more than rough handling. MW [/QUOTE]
