Do not put him on the tractor. All that is going to teach him is that a tractor can pull him, but you can't! Just be patient. Go back to what was working before.  You were making progress, so don't go blow it by proving to him that you can't handle him.

My thoughts exactly.... there are quite a few names that have "not so innocent" names. I think it shows lack of creativity when they resort to nasty names.

OMG knabe you crack me up!! If that ever showed up in a reportI assigned my students without some pretty detailed information I would give them an "A" for effort, but an "F" for cheating... unless of course they could actual pronounce half of those words AND tell me their meaning!!!

I have seen PROOF that a cows behavior does indeed influence the calf behavior (if the cow runs from a human, the calf will quickly learn to do the same thing). I also have PROOF that genetics influence behavior past all external influences (I bought a flush on a shorthorn, flushed her to a...

Too straight in the back leg for my liking, but super thick. I am also a bit concerned about his shoulder, seems a bit bold? I also prefer a bit more frame, but his height is hard to tell, he could just be deep enough in the body to give the illusion of being shorter than he actually is. But...

I agree with everything EXCEPT the "Their salary probably doesn't offset the direct expense of being a congressman."  Somehow, I doubt if any of those people would run for office IF they had to do it out of the kindness of their hearts. They do it for the money and power. Have you seen how some...

Muier's from Iowa. Unlimited selection of livestock pictures, and super quality stitiching... along with a full line of clothing to put it on.

Just heard of the Dem's idea to reduce our debt:  Raise retirement age to 69, raise federal tax another 15 Cents PER GALLON, reduce Social security payments, reduce medicare payments to hospitals And not one single peep about reducing the FREE RIDE that every single congressman gets for their...

Sounds like to me his neck might be sore and therefore, it hurts to turn it to the right. How long has this been going on?  Could he have gotten injured but butting another calf? Trailer ride? I would suggest standing him still and pushing his head away from you, every so slight and gently. If...

Darn right I voted!!  So did EVERYONE I know. (I even drove a few folks... both dems and rep)!  Not sure of our turn out but I do know several "experts" on TV said it was the heaviest turn out they had seen in 50 years. farwest: Is there a movie in the works? What would it be rated?  ;D

Oh nancy, you had such words for the last several months.... slamming all your co-workers, pulling your puppet strings, and standing in front of everyone and defying the public. Where art thou NOW nancy? Too busy packing your bags to make a public appearance? Too busy working on that "botox...

I guess some are "just too busy" to be bothered by those little annoying animal rights people right? I mean really, they are flat crazy, who would listen to them? WE know better, doesn't everyone else? Why educate the public?  (Yes, I am being very sarcastic) Many, even on this very board, pays...

Quote by oakie: You like to belittle people every chance you can get. I have read your posts and it is not a one-time thing, it is all the time. If you have real-world advise, give it and don't make a sarcastic ass out of yourself.  Sorry, just some "real world advice". DO NOT CUSS OR USE...

What in the heck was wrong with what I said? I did nothing but support what steerpimp had already stated and I was just telling them that yes, they are correct, the cow has a lot to do with the attitude of the calf, not just the bull. Sorry if that is "wrong" but many a breeder will agree with...

Get another CALM calf for him.... a similiar sized bottle calf works good. But, if he is charging you, pawing the ground, and snorting then cut your losses and sell him and get another. NO IT IS NOT NORMAL.  It is dangerous. Did you buy him KNOWING he had a bad attitude? If so, why? I wish you...

A nice typical red angus cow!! (Seen some worse, some better) But a darn nice cow that I would enjoy! Clubbie guys wouldn't like 'em. Milk too much, too much growth (weaning calves too big to show - imagine that!) and from my experience way too gentle to be challenging!  ;)  (relax people, I am...

You haven't mentioned what you have bred her to in the past that have resulted in "insane" calves ... but I am guessing if she has had more than one "insane" calf, then its the cows problem (which I think you realize).  The calf is learning the behavior from the cow, and more than likely, it...

I had my students last year make a huge poster (10 X 6 ft) about all the products that come from cattle, pigs, and sheep. Each had 100 - 110 unknown products listed in a similiar fashion of this article.  We hung the poster in the hall outside my classroom, and you talk about "feedback"...

Chewing WILL CAUSE CANCER of the mouth, tongue, jaw, throat, gums.  Swallowing the juice will just take the cancer causing agents "down the road".  So, then, after they remove your tongue, jaw, they can try and save you from stomach or esphogus cancer. Wow, that sounds like total fun. (Actually...

YEAH, another cattleman coming to their senses!!  GO SHEEP!!!!  <party>
