[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1102964, member: 17767"] trapper, you can bring her here. :D I have the time and facilities so I separate cattle for several purposes. I observe the behavior that results form separation and reintroduction back into the herd. It went through my mind yesterday, that animal husbandry is like being a wildlife biologist. You study forages, carrying capacity, behavior, etc. to manage cows. I admit it is not of interest to most producers who focus primarily on a cow as a business item but I get much more out of them. Herd animals have a complex social structure. I never put a female by herself. I have separated the bull before but bulls can handle solitary confinement. Ungulate males often leave the herd and reside alone. Old Cape Buffalo reside in small bachelor groups or lone bulls, they refer to them as "dugger boys". I understand it is an Afrikaner word meaning mud because the old boys wallow in mud holes. Get her a buddy! She will do better. [/QUOTE]
