[QUOTE="angie1, post: 627064, member: 3886"] I say I would put a pet in as opposed to a feeder steer because feeder steers have different nutritional needs than cows and "pet steers" ~ namely [u][i]feed[/i][/u]. My bottle calves are never raised in isolation from other calves or even, if I can help it, the herd itself ~ so they are aware of the dynamics. If I were to buy yearling heifers as replacements, which I have done plenty of, they would be and are integrated into the herd at purchase. They learn the dynamics, and make a place for themselves in the herd. The older cows push and shove, but I have never had them so much as injure a younger animal, nor have I heard of it happening. This is my experience, which is obviously different than yours. I don't think syork could have anticipated this reaction from his/her cows. I hope that explains my position. [/QUOTE]
