Got a portable corral set up at that other farm pasture, everything is freezing up, bad weather coming this weekend , wanted the cows home. Well, got 4 cows on the first "come boss" into the corral, rest wanted nothing to do with it. Hauled them 4 home, went back , left trailer out of sight and I lured the rest in with a small square of 3rd crop alfalfa, some corn, and my good looks. Managed to get them all in, got the trailer and backed it up to the load gate, managed to get the calves in a seperate part of the corral from the cows so I could wean them at this time also. Well, as we were working the cows to get them in the trailer, I had one of the calves, about 500-550#, manage to get her head under the bottom rail of one of the corral panels, she literaly crawled under and bent the rail up, none of the other tried, she then was in a squared area in the corner of the pasture fence, she forced herself though, and was back in the pasture. I cussed, we loaded the remaining calves. Tried to get the calf back into the corral area, no go, tried to slowly guide her that way, no go. She got more and more nervous and finally high tailed it into the swamp. I left the corral set up, tossed in nice hay, a pail of pats, and a pail of creep feed. Hoping she will come in there and make a hang out for a day and MAYBE I can sneak in from the back and close the gate on her. but then what, any suggestions? what if she doesnt come up, what if she has gone nutts? Put her down and haul to locker? Tranquilize her and try to get her in a trailer? Any advice to get her in the corral. All water sources are froze up, warmer sun days she will find some here and there in the swamp. I am so frustrated. Was a beautiful red angus/Charlias heifer too.
