[QUOTE="K5PWB, post: 1358369, member: 20496"] I agree with Black and Good. Anything I bring home goes into the barn for at least a week before I release it out in the pasture. During this time, I feed them just enough to get them through half of a day. That way it forces me to go out there and feed in the mornings/evenings and they quickly start looking forward to seeing me. As in all things, I learned this the hard way. I bought two very tame cows about 6 years ago. I could walk right up to them in the pasture they were in and they loaded up in the trailer without any problems. Once I got on the road, they started going nuts. When I got home, opened the trailer to let them out, they went full speed right through the fence. Two women that live together down the street put them in their pasture, which created another issue which is a story within itself. I have always heard, once cattle know how to go through a fence, you won't be able to keep them in. So, I loaded them back in the trailer and took them to the sale barn and lost a little bit of money. The previous owner did not want them back. [/QUOTE]
