Went to give her a feeding about noon and she had jumped on the gate and rode it down enough that she got out but was standing there raising the devil as the calf could not get to her.

I swung another gate around and tagged the calf and then turned it to her.

She has made the decision - - - - this fall she will be hamburger!

One thing about her is her calf will never get more than 10' away clear till weaning. It is funny to watch as her calves grow and try to get out and play with the other calves. She will keep chasing after her calf and bawling the whole time!

I think I'd sell her now, before she hurts somebody. A little motherly instinct at calving time is one thing, but open aggression the rest of the time doesn't need to be tolerated.

That big payloader would dig a cow grave pretty quick!

If we all linked on facebook, we might not come on here so often :shock:

The calf is now 5 days old and the worst should be over so I will let her go till weaning and then she will take a trip. There is no reason for any one to come into contact with her till weaning.

I can honestly say I gave her every chance to continue. Looking back I should have moved her on after the first calf but I have had others that were not nice the first time around and then later settled down.

With this cow if anything she has gotten worse over the years. And she is really not anything special so come October she will ship.
