[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 988619, member: 17767"] I had a calf born about 10 days ago. The cow was separated from the herd. I was handling the calf and carried it against me when I put it in the crowding pen. Later after dealing with the calf, I went out behind the barn where I open the gate (the back of the barn does not have a door, it has a 12 foot gate) at the back of the barn and pull out square bales for the cows. They wait there and crowd up waiting to start eating. I have a bale hook that I drag the bales out with, then cut and remove the strings. When I went through the gate, all the cows came at me with their noses straight out. They formed a complete circle of cows around me. They moved their noses up and down me, smelled my gloves, the front of my coat, etc. I was a little intimidated because there was no place to escape and I wasn't sure what one of them might do. They were greeting the odors of the new herd member as best as I know. It was a cool experience. [/QUOTE]
