    New here, question about a wild calf

    Thank you very much! I have him leading very good and I make sure I stay beside him and don’t let him get ahead of me. He understands that when the halter is on, he has to listen to me. He’s doing really good. I know I should probably dehorn him but I don’t think I’m going to. I only have him...

    She’s definitely still ready to charge you if you corner her, which is why people have told me to get rid of her. I try to just talk to her and just walk around her pen and all to make her know I’m no threat. I can’t get a halter on her or anything so I didn’t know if there was possibly anything...

    New here, question about a wild calf

    A couple of weeks ago I bought a 6 month old heifer calf. Angus/limousine cross. She had never been handled until I picked her up. At first, she was very flighty but slowly, she’s coming around. She moos if she can’t see me, she will eat bread out of my hand now, and will eat her feed out of her...
