Pretty impressive mothering instincts, however, I believe most any breed of cows will protect
their calves. See what happens when our "docile" Hereford cows see a strange dog in the pasture
or a calf bawls in distress....They will circle the wagons as well. :nod:

Our Red Angus girls did that to a flock of geese this year. Guess those little goslings were just too much of a threat to a 700 lb calf. :roll:

Growing up I remember starting with a Shorthorn base and then using Herefords, Simmentals and Charolais for a few years. Didn't take long to switch to straight Simmentals as they make the best momma cows. More milk and maternal traits than any other breed I've ever had around. I came across a Simmental cow quite a few years ago in the pasture that had just calved and she had trampled one coyote into the ground and 2 others were after the calf. Got there just in time as she was just about done. Luckily she'd had the calf back up against a stack of old straw bales or they would have gotten gotten around her and got it for sure.

I have a few simmentalcows too and they can sure act like tigers when their calves are just born.
Thats the only thing I hate about them. I like their lots of milk = always a heavy weanling.
Even the crossbreds give a lot of milk.
When my dog comes near the calves he is not sure of his live and he knows that.

Nor on anything that has some brahamn influence.

Simms are very good cattle, I like them alot. I also like several other breeds but the best is usually a cross that's fits your enviroment. However we can't have crosses without breeders growing fullbloods. We also need genetic diversity in the nationwide herd. I wish everyone would stop putting down everything but what they raise.
