[QUOTE="Farmerjon, post: 1728457, member: 17113"] When her feed, water and ability to get that are dependent on you supplying it to her she will see you in a different light. She still has the upper hand. If she gets away from you she still eats and drinks. Put her in a dry pen and let her find out you are the source of all that she wants. It will change her tune. I am not in any way shape or form telling you to starve her, but allowed to get thirsty and you taking her to water, tying her and grooming her with a broom you will find out she will kick. But you need to be the top of the pecking order to get her attention and you aren't. If you only want her to be a producing cow, she is tame enough, but for a family milk cow, her uppityness will only get worse once she has a calf to defend. A week of her being dependent on you for feed and water and she will look forward to seeing you and will soon meet you at the gate. It is time consuming but will be rewarded many times over as her being a useful family cow. [/QUOTE]
