Not sure how a high risk of injury is a good business decision. Don’t want to make it a “pet” just calm and friendly enough cow to not get run over trying to move from one paddock to another or get blindsided cause I stepped between her and her calf.

My experience has been with cows like this, I can hold my own. Don’t get off the 4wheeler keep you distance a few weeks, mouth or so they are tolerable enough. It doesn’t stop with people they terrorize everything, other cows calves, other cows, fences, gates even barn cats.

Miraculously after aggressively culling these knot heads my gates and fences are in better shape, I haven’t seen a still born in years. Ever have a random seemingly healthy calf just die in the middle of a pasture? Still think cows with these personalities make money?[/QUOTE

As I age my grandpa's wisdom and insight is becoming more apparent, one such item is "trouble with old age is you get so darn clumsy" I have had cows over the years you could stand down, but I have found out all it takes is one misstep or slip and you are down with a mad cow coming for you or worse yet trampling you.
