[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 442425, member: 6734"] Ok guys, help me out here. I bought some 3for1's (only a couple). I've never had mom cows on the property... I don't want to get myself killed by being stupid around them. My plan is to call them up for grain (more-or-less just a snack as they'll be primarily on pasture/hay). I'm hoping their calves will come along too. I know one of the mom's has been combed and they say she likes attention. My concern is the other mom. Am I ok to move as usual around them? They won't all-of-a-sudden decide they don't like my shirt that day and try to run me over will they? Can you give me some advice as to how to get them used to/comfortable with me? I can tell you by my observation of others that I am a gentle handler so I feel like I should be able to earn their trust but how do I start out? These are big girls... not like starting with calves. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
