i know this is not a cattle board but a lot of people here have them. i got a call last night and my brother had been checking on one of his cows trying to have a calve. the cow charged him and knocked him down. thats not so bad until the cow slipped and fell on him. now he is in ICU with 5 broken ribs on one side and 2 on the other side. i know like him a lot of people think the world of there cows and feel very comfortable working around them, but they are wild animals and have be respected becauce of there size and power. just always BE CAREFUL AROUND THESE THINGS.

Sounds like the bunch on a farm I worked at ,1st words out of his mouth was don't worry about 40 cows worry about those 160 feet that will step on you. These where black white faces were very tame until calving time.

Last year a 30 something bachelor from a nearby town got killed in his dairy lot after helping a cow give birth. I think it was the bull that attacked him, maybe not, but neighbors figured the smell of blood is what set the animal off.

Range cows are often wild and cant be trusted, I always keep a horse between me and the cow until I can control it with a rope. Cows do tend to get grumpy when calving or new born calves.

Dale,

Sorry to hear about your brother, that is indeed unfortunate. Hope the poor guy gets along okay.

The cow didn't charge him because she is a "wild animal", but rather, she came at him because she was in pain. This is how cattle act.

Allan

Other thing I learned is to keep the calf between you and mama, don't make pets out of the cows, keep your eyes on them, and have something close to get onto or behind.

Been there, done that. Cows are just protecting their calves. I try to have my 4 trac(sorry no horse) between me and the cow. One thing to watch out for is where your dog is, I have had cows charge the dog, big brave hound then hides behind me.
Hope your brother is well soon, give him our best wishes.
