[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1279765, member: 8265"] I'm not sure if its helpful to tell people that all bovine animals are going to kill them. There is quite a difference between a sweet gentle jersey cow and a wild beef cow or a jersey bull. There are many dogs that bite, but we don't tell people to never pet a dog. A lot of horses kill people, too, but for some reason people still get on them. I've had a lot of pet cows over the years, and the worst thing that has happened is accidentally stepping on my toes. I've broken many of the rules with them, but when they're so gentle you can sit on them, I don't worry too much. Having said this, newbies probably should spend time slowly getting to know their cow before getting too close. Of course, if they're milking, don't know how they could get any closer. As for affection, yes, cows are like people. If they want what you offer (food or scratches), they will show 'affection', rub on you til you give it to them. As long as I bring home a paycheck, my wife shows affection, so I have to tap her on the nose to make sure she respects me. :lol: [/QUOTE]
