[QUOTE="dun, post: 29521, member: 34"] No surprise here. I have a slightly different take on this situation. As youngsters, everything is a toy. Our calves will run up and kick there heels, jump around blat and generally have a good time. If you just stand still, they eventually realize you aren't much fun and will quit doing it. But a lot depends on how clse they get before the stop. If they try to get in my back pocket a good yell genrally turns them away. Actaully it alwasy has so far, the operative term being "so far". Heifers that were really rambunctious as young calves have mellowed into calm cows. I'm more concerned about the ones that run away from you as soon as they see you. They need to be taught their distance, but not to the point that they are reluctant to have you walk among them. In our situation, we need the kind of cattle that are easy going around people and even a little curious. And a lot of that calf play is exactly that, curiosity. dun [/QUOTE]
