[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1746524, member: 8202"] And then this morning, she had no problem. Maybe it was all the banging, sawing, and cussin' the day before that had her spooked yesterday morning. I guess I'd be giving the whole barn a wide berth if I was a little cow and a couple of stoopid hoomans came in and started a ruckus... Anyway, I opened the thing in the middle and sat down. She walked up, looked in, looked on either side (like yesterday), then just tilted her head and stuck it in and started eating. I was afraid to breathe! LOL! I didn't brush her or touch her or anything, just soft talking, so as not to spook her again, and she was just fine. She did back out once when Rich popped his head in the door to see if I was done yet, but she went right back in again and finished the rest of her treats. There really is plenty of room if she'd just put her head in a few inches higher, but I guess she'll get higher as she grows, eh? ;) Or she'll learn to lift instead of duck down. Silly cows... So I'll give her a few days with no bothering, then I'll work on shutting it on her, and THEN, HAHA! The halter will go on! 😲 I was looking at her out in the corral this morning as I was walking out to feed her, and thinking she'll be old enough to breed in a month, but to me, she still looks like a calf! I mean, a LITTLE calf. There's no way I'd think of breeding her if I didn't know how old she was. I sure hope she grows up some in the next few months. My plan (such as it is) is to breed her in October or November, for a summer calf next year. I'm so used to BIG cows, though, and she's so petite... I had always thought people were joking, or fibbing, when they said they had full grown, mature cows that weighed 800 or 900 pounds. I guess maybe it could be true! [/QUOTE]
