Nasty Cows

[Shadow]

What breed?

Angus

 

[Gulli]

Luckily im one that animals dont take notice of even ither peoples stock mostly like me

Same here. Used to do a lot of work pushing cows around for a foot trimmer and farmers like it when you can move cows around without them clattering into the sides of the pen

A quick update on this, we've had no more nasty cows. We put the bull in with them, however we think it was low mag, due to them not having the buckets available as long before calving. The vet agrees with us, however we did not test any in the end as the vicious ones with calves had calmed down and been on tmr for 10 days so wouldn't have shown up.

Lessons learned for next year:
1) At least 2 mineral tubs per group (no matter what size) to prevent hogging / bullying
2) Extra mineral from 6 weeks before calving
3) Leave the bull in with them too just in case

Hope this helps someone else!
