[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 24123, member: 87"] We have several herding dogs that hlep us with the movement of our cattle. I recently purchased a Rock'nD Ambush son; what I did not know is that this bull is a herder. :roll: We have another Rock son who is not. Anyway, he is with about 40 girls (it is breeding season) and we are still moving them daily to winter grazing- should call it spring grazing. We start the group moving and "Rocky" goes out in front of the herd and drives them back. If one of the girls splits and heads for the new grazing pasture, he runs out after her, heads her off and drives her back to the group. He actually wares back and forth just like the dogs do. The only way we can get everyone where we want them is for one of us to walk behind him until we get him out to the field first, and then the other of us, with our herding dogs, comes up from the rear the the larger group. :cboy: Used to take only one of us to do this chore. Now this was cute the first few times we observed this behavior, but it is a real pain now and adds alot of time and shoeleather to a simple task. :mad: In order to get to the winter grazing area, the Rock and his girls need to pass two fields in which there are other bulls???? Could this be a factor? :mrgreen: Anyone know how to break this habit? Anyone know of herding trials for bulls? :lol2: :lol: Bill [/QUOTE]
