[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1397250, member: 7398"] I've always been concerned about this. I calve in groups so I will pull off 10 cows at a time that are close to calving and put them in my calving pen. Won't run the whole herd up there or it will spoil the pen. After a couple of days and the newborn calves get their feet about them, I run the pairs back out with the herd where there's always a major tussle to reestablish whatever dominance was in question. Lost a calf this fall after such an incident and couldn't help but wonder if that was the cause.... Seems to me that if a cow / calf can't handle a little rough housing without aborting late term like there, there must be something else wrong... [/QUOTE]
