[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1163356, member: 9096"] To each their own.. Know a fellow who doesn't even look at his cows at calving, darned right they were flighty and mean, but they dealt with anything, wolves, bears, etc, and did just fine, they were mostly horned Salers (some surprise). Since he started breeding RA into the herd, he's had more and more losses from predators, and I guess now he has the WORST of both worlds, cows that are just mean enough to not let you around, but not REALLY mean enough to take care of themselves. I wouldn't want his cows, though they worked well for him, I may have to intervene more often with mine, but it's so much less stressful when I need to. That's what works for me. I do require a certain IQ on my cows... it goes like this.. "You see me every day, I feed you, I am not a bear, I am not a coyote, and I'm not a cougar, figure that out!". Most are pretty good about that now [/QUOTE]
