I'd say they would have killed her if I didn't seperate them again. Might be a problem yet as more cows calve and I run out of shed space.

They all seem to be the older cows which have a tendancy to bully any younger ones. you will find there is always one thats worse than the rest. People will probably say by putting them together i am just looking for punishment but they settle very quick and learn their places.

The hospital staff were great and couldn't do enough for us - they even got me a bed and allowed me to stay for the week. Bottle feeding is slightly more delicate than bottling lambs although the waking in the middle of the night is no different. Proud as Punch, sheep can take a back seat for the next few days.:D:D:D
