[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 289370, member: 4936"] I agree, I like them tame - I have a couple that you can pet while they're eating - One expecially, she was a bottle baby & is now about 12 yrs old and she still comes when you call her which is nice because the others will sometimes follow. When they are home for the winter, I always walk around amongst them while they are eating - they get used to you. Since the old ones don't mind me walking close to them, seems like the young ones pick up on that and don't get so skitty either. When you have to put them in a corral or something they all stay calmer. We have to gather in the mountains every fall and it's nice that the older ones will see you coming on horseback and they'll come toward you and already know where they're going, so you can start them off down the road and go back for straglers, and the older girls just keep going. The calves learn not to be afraid and they stay calm and everyone is happy! I won't keep an agressive or high headed cow - just not worth it no matter what her calves look like, it disrupts the harmony of the whole herd. [/QUOTE]
