FAQ
“Replevin” is a process whereby seized goods may be restored to their owner. In a replevin case, the Plaintiff claims a right to personal property (as opposed to real property/real estate) which has been wrongfully taken or detained by the defendant and seeks to recover that personal property.
The Michigan Supreme Court in 1887 declared in Sherwood v. Walker that, because a mutual mistake affecting the substance of the transaction had been made, Hiram Walker had a right to rescind the contract and keep the cow.
When filing a replevin suit, the plaintiff must provide evidence that they are the rightful owner of the property in question and that it was taken without justification or consent.
There is a good chance the cow has mastitis or inflammation of the udder. Mastitis is most commonly caused by a bacterial infection. This is more difficult to diagnose and treat in beef cows than in dairy cows, but the ideal treatment is the same -- stripping out the udder as often as possible.
Options with cows that have lost calves: Keep and expose cows to rebreeding for spring calving in 2020. Put weight on and sell as cull cows later this spring or summer. Sell cows immediately and replace immediately with a cow-calf pair or wait to replace in the fall with a bred heifer/cow.
Licking the Calf You can do this by pouring something on the calf's back to encourage the dam to lick them. Grain will work, but there are other products marketed for that purpose. This should help the cow's maternal instincts kick in and get her to accept the calf.
The best way to move cattle, then, is the same way they move naturally across the land: in thin lines, just like a string. Apply too much pressure to the back of the herd (what many people assume ``pushing'' cattle is), and the string will bunch up and collapse on itself. The herd will grow wider instead of narrower.
Did you know cows hide their calves for a few weeks after having them? The calf will stay hidden from predators while his mom, the cow, goes to graze. Momma always knows exactly where baby is.
Walk your fence line and see where they are getting out. Or, quietly push loose cattle back home. They tend to learn where to get in/out. If you don't spook them and just move them along they may go right back in and show you where you need to fix the fence. Sometimes bad spots are obvious. Sometimes they aren't.
The easiest way I've found to get a cow to take a foster calf is to take her own calf away from her, put it with the foster calf, and bring both calves to the cow for feeding for a few days.
