Wut a work in progress-this calf is a clown

mark tenenbaum · May 24, 2012

My buddy in Indiana was out checking cows the other day and noticed all the calves exploring the other side of a very hot fence. So he took his truck up the hill,and they all ran back to the fence,other than a certain2 month old trouble maker,who wanted to play.This is the 68 pound runt who now RULES,the calves,the creep feeder,and most nursing activities. The calf then ambled on down to the fence-and picked the post-wire and all up-with it cracking away. My buddy took his truck back through the fence to check ,and the calf ambled back through the hotwire and followed him up the hill.Then the calf dissappeared-he found him sitting in the front seat of the pickup cuz hed left the door open ANYONE Got any funny stories??? O0

Back in the late '80s we hade a huge Red Alert daughter that was unigue to say the least. She was dog gentle, but could jump any fence she wanted to. When we would get the group in, she would jump right out. Got to the point where we would just leave her out, and wait for her to jump in with the rest. ;D

We used to have a small commercial cow, Smallest cow we have ever kept, mature 950 lbs or so, and every bit as mean when it came to protecting hr baby as she was small. Always had the first calf every year and it hit the ground running. Anyway the first year I was gone to college I came home for a weekend, not long after she had called. Seat int the chore S10 was tore to hell. Seems dad had taken the ten month old pup to check cows, she had called, Dad ambushed to tag the calf, as he was running like hell to get back in the truck, the pup got crawled out through the cracked window, Dad sees that pup is about to. Get squished so he drives over to rescue pup, opens the door in jumps pup, before he could get door shut, cow gets head in, Dad can't get door shut and cow comes in, everyone starts bailing out the passenger side, dog dad then cow...... Dad throws pup in back of truck jumps in back of truck, cow starts to follow but can't get over the side of truck. Dad gets back in cab, starts to drive off with dog and front half of cow in back of truck........ That dog never bothered cows again....... The ow was maybe the most profitable cow we ever had, would calve early and wean a sioux hundred Lund calf.....

We had 2 calves we raised out of him. This cow was out of a Highler 202 cow, about 1400 pounds, frame 6. Born the right shape but about 100 pounds. We also raised a bull out of a Guiness cow, about 1500, frame 6. He was probably 110+, born unassisted. He was also the single easiest doing animal we ever raised. 800 pounds at 230 days no creep, 1300 yearling, and just continued to grow. We used him for about 5 years, and had very few calving issues. His daughters went on to make real good cows, good milk and udders, and kept flesh easy. We shipped him at 7 years old, rail thin from a pinched nerve and he still weighed 2450, HUGE!
