[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1719671, member: 40255"] I think you need a real soft mouthed Border Collie. When I left home I took a really small Jersey cross milk cow and a Border Collie pup with me. The cow was probably 3 or 4 years old, was used to a stanchion, but was not halter broke. She would balk and drag her feet when I would be leading her. One day I am moseying along with her and she gets to balking every now and then. At one point I was just getting ready to start tugging on her when she suddenly sprinted forward. I looked back and realized my Border Collie pup had been paying attention to all of this and decided the cow needed a little nudge. He understood to be gentle and the little cow understood to move forward. I realize you can't have a Border Collie in the show ring hazing the heifer here and there, but you can't pull her around the show ring with a tractor either. 🤔 🙂 [/QUOTE]
