P.M.S. Ranch Style (Protective Mother Syndrome) Ranch Style. During calving it is natural for my girls to be protective of their little ones. It is with great care and soft talking we tag and band if necessary (bull calves) we pet baby and walk away always talking soft. Mama sniffs her young, sees it's still alive and continues on. But we have #14 The Devil. She suffers from P.M.S. Extreme. With her it doesn't matter whos baby, she will defend it from all and if shes having a bad day she will take it from mom and decide when to give it back. This year the extreme has hit a new level. Moving her and hers to a seperate pen with a few young cows for our own safety. Perfect plan.:) :) After 20 harrowing minutes of horn knocking foam spitting pissed we managed to get baby moved then she followed. Ahh calm. Fixing fence- not to her liking jumping pen #2 fence running over babies slamming mamas at the complete injustice of being moved. The bawl from pissed #14 is one you will respect. She hits the fence when I feed so each day. I will use great care and when baby is old enough #14 shall be gone. That day will be one of great celebration.
