[QUOTE="dun, post: 1358262, member: 34"] If you've been reading these boards for a while, you'll know my answer. Depends on the cows. Some will calm down right away, some will take longer, some may never calm down. That last bunch you need to get rid of because they will just spin up the others. To calm them down, spend time around them, feed them a little grain, and what has worked well for me is to read to them. Sit down and read out loud just about anything. Calm voice and they'll eventually get used to you. We have a local weekly swap paper. I've been known to sit on a stump and read it out loud. It's just words but a calm voice that they get used to will work wonders. Don;t hoorah them or chase or yell at them, move slow and easy around them, don;t walk them to make them move. Use herding pressure points to get them to go where you want them. [/QUOTE]
