In Reply to: a stubborn heifer posted by LorenMN on February 27, 2012 at 09:24:46:
Yesterday she would start walking for the woods as soon as she saw me, but by last evening she was eating with the cows again when I fed them some feed and hay, so it seems that she's starting to settle down a bit.
I think my best chance is to keep moving the cows thru the paddock and into the other pasture, until she's comfortable moving with them. Then maybe try setting up a creep feeder? I'd love to have someone just drop her with a tranquilizer gun so I could put her in the trailer and get her to the othr pasture. maybe I'll check with the vet. Once I get her moved to my parent's place, she won't be leaving there until it's in the butcher's truck next January. I just don't want her to get bred by the bull before I get her moved. How many months old before a heifer can get pregnant?
One thing that I learned is that it is easier to wean and move the calves at 6 months than 9 months. I figured I would save myself some trouble this year by waiting until the yearlings were butchered, so I wouldn't have to run a separate calf pen. Thought it would be easier since the 9 month olds seemed to have quit nursing on their own. Live and learn.
