[QUOTE="chippie, post: 996910, member: 5644"] Our beef cows don't really care one way or another about me, but they are happy to see a bale of hay or feed. It is safe to say that they tolerate me. They are all easy to work around because all but one have been shown. They will stand for you to put a halter on while in the pasture and you can touch them without them acting stupid. The one that hasn't been shown is a yearling 3 way cross heifer and our daughter halter broke her last year. I do carry a sorting stick when I go out in the pasture and when I move them around in the pens. Sometimes they will start pushing each other excited about the feed or hay. They don't always look where they are going and I want to make sure that I am not accidently knocked down. I use the stick to let them know that they are getting to close & to keep them at a respectful distance. The cows aren't mean, they don't think like a person and they don't pay attention to their surroundings. The majority of the time that people get injured by cattle, it is by a pet or gentle stock. Our Jersey cow does like my husband. When we go to a fair that involves being out of town for several days, she is always looking for him. At home, she will stand and watch him when he is working in the garden. She is very well mannered to work with. I enjoy handling her. She is pretty smart for a cow. [/QUOTE]
