[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1850852, member: 42463"] A couple of years ago I brought a Jersey heifer home to be raised for the freezer. I had a sheep with triplets I'd brought home the week before, so the sheep and her babies already in the pasture. When I turned the heifer out with the sheep she turned into four hundred pounds of bovine fury. She went after the sheep like a pit bull on a chihuahua. The lambs were trying to stick to their mother and were getting rolled and stomped as the ewe was trying to get away. I had to go out and protect the sheep with a flail so she wouldn't be killed. I finally got the sheep and lambs into another enclosure and the heifer paced the fence with blood in her eye until I sold her to the guy across the street that runs some cows. I've never tried running sheep and cattle together before, so don't know if this was a thing that happens. I had a black Angus heifer that wouldn't tolerate a dog within a mile of her, but I was surprised at the reaction to a sheep. [/QUOTE]
