I've got a cow who is a bit of a pain for about the first three weeks after calving. If you get close, she gets all weird and stirs up the rest of the herd. Unfortunately, she's about the best cow I have when it comes to producing really good calves. Well, last night, she was giving me the evil eye, so I tried to shoo her away and she charged me. So, I took an axe handle out and then she kept her distance. So, I was out for my evening walk and I thought I was being fairly careful not to get too close and she charged me again. I tripped while I was trying to run away and she pulled up short. The issue I have with her is that she has some fairly nasty horns and she knows how to use them. I talked to a couple of the neighbors and told them I was thinking about cutting them off. The one neighbor thinks that it should improve her attitude quite a bit. The other neighbor says that he thinks that if she ever get you down, as long as she has horns, you've got something to grab hold of. As I said, she'll be back to her normal docile self in a week or so but right now, she's a bit of an annoyance. Any thoughts?
