    Young cow, first time calver, took off to foreign parts this morning as she was calling. This is the second one I have and they are a nuisance as it's impossible to get them home until they settle. I could have been getting the AI to her instead of watching her gamble with the neighbour's cows with not a hope in hell of getting her in. She now goes into the diary and I'll be standing over her in 3 weeks to catch her before she moves!!! It only seems to be my Angus ones that do this, the rest are SIX and Hereford and don't stir at all.

    Not really an angus thing, more of a fencing thing:D

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Depending on when she was bulling and when you could get her in, she could still be worth a straw from the AI man.

    The best fence in Ireland wouldn't keep my girls in when they feel frisky it appears. She plowed up and embankment and across 3 strands of barbed wire. Top of fence is above my head. The other angus cow I've seen her cross a field gate without putting a hoof on it. 'Tis deer fencing I need maybe! Neighbour thinks she may have met with his bull, so maybe it's not a complete dead loss as his bull produces nice CH calves!!

    we have one jump 3 gates one after another like a show jumper to get out of the yard when we were trying load her for the factory, she must have known waht was coming.

    my dad had a fr cows back when he ilked that kept comig back into the yard for her calf. we were in one afternoon having the dinner and in she strolled, down the road, up the driveway accross the yard and over to teh shed, cows werent is a filed by the road. hunted her back up the with the rest and found the fence she broke, reapied them and the ditchs ove the next 2 fields and out onto the road. she was back in yard before when i got back. ended up having to park the tractor and loader up on a ditch to stop her climbing up the bank. she was fine after a few days.

    experience has taught me that when a woman wants to do something its best to let her do it,:D

    especially when it involves hormones
