Hey Guys!
I really missed all of you!! I'm sorry I have not been around......It has been a rough couple of weeks around here. We had a nasty winter storm that dumped 2 1/2 feet of WET snow....lost calves....no electricity......YUCK! I'm even more bummed because my kitchen calf I wrote about a couple of months ago did not make it.
My father is quite up in years and still keeps a small package of cattle around to keep him busy. A couple of days ago, in broad day light, a group of labrador retrievers attacked a 4 hour old calf and just ravaged it. You should see the hole the heifer essentially dug trying to fight these dogs off. Of course my dad went out on his 4 wheeler and did not have a gun. The dogs had eaten off the ears and nose, and the calf actually was still alive. The mamma was exhausted and had laid down next to her calf. The three dogs where laying down around the cow and calf, I guess resting up for round 2.
What an outrage!! Anybody have this happen to you?
