[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1651892, member: 39373"] Hey now.... Most all my "working girls" have names. But when ya only have a couple handfuls it's ok I reckon. They got numbers too. Lol It's a whole lot cheaper in the long run to monitor for a set period of time. One comes home with gawd only knows what and the whole herd gets it! THAT'S when it gets real expensive. I've also found they get a bit more comfortable and get to know your habits a bit as well. I spend time walking my fields with very little worry about any crazy cows. Still aware, but not too scared. I have a few friends there is no way I would walk amongst the herd. Guess I'll elaborate on the turn out b4 noon thing. I want them to know their boundaries. Turned a couple out years ago and it was late afternoon. Only ones I've ever had escape, cept a stupid bull that I loved dearly. They lived at a friendly neighbors for like 3 months b4 I got em back. So! If I cant make it b4 noon, they wait til the next day. [/QUOTE]
