[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 652929, member: 968"] Bez - very good comments!!! Lighten up people. We're talking to a newbie - we definately should not be telling them to make a pet out of their cattle. Sure - I can scatch the butt of most of my cattle. Sure, lots of my cattle are halter broke. And I LOVE THEM. But, bottom line - they are not PETS. And a newbie should be fair warned. Even if they are halter broke, they will NEVER NEVER be like a horse. There may be some, but I don't think very many mares will try to grind you into the ground at calving time - but the sweetest, nicest, most halter broke cow MIGHT! We're not trying to scare you - but you must be aware of these facts. And, what he said about not falling in love with the calves. That's soooo hard not to do, but, a male should be considered walking beef for the freezer. A heifer, MAY be a replacement, but she also CAN be walking beef for the freezer. [/QUOTE]
