[QUOTE="Keren, post: 420727, member: 3195"] I understand the criticism when someone hops on these boards and wants a 'pet cow' for their backyard. But JDFG has a herd of cattle - this is a totally different scenario. Why shouldnt she have a pet steer - she has other cattle and is obviously used to handling cattle and knows the risks. We had a pet limmy steer for a while. We took him to a hoof n hook competiton when he was 12 months, but he got crook there so we brought him home. Took him again a year later but now he was over the maximum weight limit. So he came home and became a bit of a pet. We took him to lots of the little shows for the kids to use in the handlers classes. Unfortunately he went in the last couple of tough years. I also have a pet wether along with my angoras, who lives in the backyard, and a wether with the boers that is trained to harness. A friend has a tigerstripe steer that is broke to ride, she brings in the cattle on him. He's remarkable comfortable, and more sensible than a lot of horses I've been on. She's also got a nubian wether that rounds the cattle up - now that is a funny thing to watch! :lol: [/QUOTE]
