[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1788796, member: 498"] I had the first one on Monday. I was about a third of the way through feeding looked back and there was a calf amongst the cow. Finished with the hay and drove back there to figure out which one had calved. There is B's cows and my cows. Couldn't figure it out definitely but I thought the odds were one of B's cows. I called to let him know. Turned out to be one of my broken mouth cows that calved. By her number I knew which group she came with. I had talked to the guy who sold them. He said they were good cows but there are some of them who might put you on top of the truck when you try to tag their calf. So B has an old Jeep Cherokee that is his calving vehicle. He gets the calf between the drivers door and the seat with its head stuck forward. Two shots, bander, and tagger on the floor just in front of the seat. He is quick and gets the job done right now. He calves out about 1,000 cows so he has had lots of practice. Well on this one about mid way through the cow comes around the Jeep blowing snot up his back side. He just reaches back with a foot and kicks her in the nose without missing a beat working on the calf. More stones than I have. But that calf is all worked until branding in April. [/QUOTE]
