[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1818444, member: 42782"] Day 22 and still no interest in anything except food. A funny thing happened yesterday evening. I went out and separated Honeydew and Daphne from the horses where they had been kept a few days. They had been in pasture 1 so I could easily see bovine behavior in case HD came back into heat. The other cows were nowhere to be seen in pasture 2. These are great big beef cows so fat they resemble overstuffed couches. Anyway, I fed hay to my cattle and the horses were eating hay on their side of the fence. This spot is west side of the house. I went to get Daphne her cubes when I came back she was gone. Thats weird I thought, but then she suddenly reappeared in the corner of pasture 2 by the other side of the house. She had to circle the hill to do that. So I fed her the cubes there. But I wanted her to come back to eat the hay. So I lured her back around the hill to where Honeydew was. I looked at Daphne and thought she is getting old and has lost some weight I wonder if she has worms. So I went and measured out some ivermectin pour on, came back and she was gone again. I walked back around the hill and she was no where to be seen. Honeydew reappeared in 2 and was following me. I went back to the other side of the hill and checked the ravines in case Daphne had fallen in- no Daphne. Honeydew followed me back and went back to eating hay near the horses. This is really weird Daphne has disappeared from the face of the earth I thought so I walked back down into pasture 2 to see if she was on the other side of the trees. She wasn't. Standing there in pasture 2 what do I hear but the thunder of hooves. Turned around and saw Honeydew come shooting over the top of the hill as if shot from a cannon. Down the hill she came galloping at top speed like a race horse straight for me. I had no idea she cattle could move that fast. I was getting ready to jump around and wave my arms when she came shooting past me, running top speed across the field and disappeared in the crossing into pasture 3. I went over to 3 and there was Daphne standing there licking that red cow she is so crazy about, Honeydew and the rest of the cattle were watching this. I am done trying to micromanage these cattle I thought and went home. [/QUOTE]
