Heifer from hell

Just wanted to let yall know how i did with the rotten girl(the one i couldnt break).
I got third place in showmanship!!
She only got a few good kicks in on me, like my arm, leg, wrist and face throughout our time together, it was so nice to know it was our last day together!

One of my prime culling aspects is disposition. I may put wheels under some good cows, but I do get almost all of the lemons.

I had one cow, big old girl, good calves. When it came time to get the herd in the corral for sorting she would head them off in the opposite direction - numerous times. She had wheels put under her.

Calves are funny. Some see me scratching their mommas and eventually come close enough for me to scratch the top of their heads a bit. Then they eventually want scratching themselves. Next calf from the same cow and bull may be completely stand-offish. Not at all like most families.

I don't remember the full heifer story - like breed, age, how long you had her. But I am glad you survived intact and she is no longer around to bother you!
