[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1836533, member: 24816"] [USER=25884]@farmerjan[/USER] [USER=22053]@coachg[/USER] y’all are right, we’re going to keep them up in a small lot. She was out in the rain by herself and wife and I went out and got the other cow outside with her and finally got her in the barn, Poor cow didn’t keep up with the other one and ended back up alone trying to find the door. We tried just talking regular voice when she’d get close to us to kind of try to direct her. Tried to be slow and just let her ease along so she wouldn’t get moving fast and hurt herself if she walked into anything. She went into the fence a couple times and I think when we got her turned around and she bumped into the side of the shed she must have kind of known she was close she took a few steps over and went up into the barn. I fed them some baled hay and feed in a trough. I tried to ease her over to the trough and she walked into the barn wall, then turned and walked into my hand. She then walked into the other cow and walked with her head along the other cow till she reached the trough. I think she knew the cow was eating and knew to find it that way. From the way she steps up that high step into the barn, it leads me to believe that she has been a traded cow several times and used to stepping up. The other cow is I believe a good cow with plenty of milk, but y’all are right I’m not keeping any of those calves and probably not even the good cow. [USER=42463]@Travlr[/USER] yeah it’s the same cows. [USER=16453]@wbvs58[/USER] Herefords have plenty of genetic defects too. [/QUOTE]
