[QUOTE="bball, post: 1239657, member: 23752"] Sniper, I keep reading all this and I continue to have the same thought: go buy yourself a few 5-6 year old brood cows from a reputable producer in your area. Make sure they are tame as a kitten. Train these cows to come to you when you ring a bell (easily done, while you feed them some sweet feed or grains, ring a bell while they're eating, after a few times of this, you can ring a bell and your cattle will come to you from anywhere they can hear the bell. This keeps you from chasing them, they come to you. These older, trained cows will be a godsend to you as you add new cattle be cause they will help keep the herd calm and train the other cows to come to you. Heres the things about cattle, you can grow as fast as your pockets are deep (presuming you have the land) but that isn't always a good idea, especially if you're just getting your feet wet. I think this advice will make your enjoyment of owning cattle much more enjoyable, atleast while getting started. [/QUOTE]
