[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 21557, member: 57"] I would turn them all out at the same time if they are used to being together. they will probably stick together as a mini herd. of course some pushing, chasing, etc is to be expected at some point. last year i separated some heifers from the main herd long enough to breed and have their first calves and then reintroduced them to the main herd and that herd of 25 sticks together like glue. they go off and graze together away from the main herd and come back to eat hay and bed down. if the new cows and other cows share a fenceline that might cut down on a little confrontation if the cows have a chance to sniff each other out first. I agree with a previous poster about turning them all into the new place at the same time b/c they will be having too much fun thinking they got out to worry with new cows that much. [/QUOTE]
