[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1740718, member: 8202"] I don't think her horns will be a problem. Cricket had a horn (horn paste mistake on my part), and after she accidentally thumped me in the arm one day while turning her head, I got in the habit of holding on to it whenever I was passing close by her. I'll do the same with Molly. It's just habit now. ;) However, if she ever AIMS them at me, they'll be coming off. I won't mess around with it. I don't think she will, though, she's just as sweet as can be, even now when she's still confused and bewildered and has every right to be a jackass. We're becoming very good friends, and you're right, the time will pass quickly. Meanwhile, I have lots of time to get to know her, and get her used to everything, so when she calves, she'll be plenty comfortable with the routine. She'll be my fifth heifer that I train to milk, so it's nothing new for me. For her, yes, but I'll help her through her hormones. ;) I learned the hard way, with my first cow, who was a year old when I got her. My FIRST cow. I had no idea what I was doing back then, but she was nice, too, and we got through it together. The next time was easier, and now it's actually fun and exciting, not scary. I really can't wait! :) [/QUOTE]
