[QUOTE="dun, post: 913946, member: 34"] Depends on the individual cow. It's not necessarrily the boss cow that will go head to head with a new cow, it's usually one further doen in the pecking order. We just quarentine the new cow for a couple of weeks for health reasons then just turn them in with the others. We have one cow that when Granny is separated for whatever reason or span of time she kind of takes over. But as soon as Granny is put back she's back to being the boss. She's awfully slow these days but when I open a gate to a new pasture she'll start towards it first, she won;t get there first but the others see where she's headed and take off. If I'm moving them to a further pasture they others will get sidetracked and start browsing along. Ol Granny will just keep on plodding along and the others will follow. [/QUOTE]
