[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 442467, member: 6496"] Have you tried to be friendly to the "nicer" cow? First off I wouldn't get into the pen with them without someone else there if you're not sure how they will act. With the associating you with feed that may get a bit dicey. If you can feed over a fence, that's ok, but if you have to get into a pen to feed be careful that they don't push you around or run you over to get to supper. When we get new cows I act calm and normal around them, I give them plenty of space, but I also keep an eye on them. I try to show them that it's ok for me to come into the them to work or check out their condition, but I'm not going to hurt them. We live in Iowa and bought some calves that came off of the range in Wyoming, how we came about them is a long story. Any how, they were wild and I mean wild! They just calved this year for the first time and it's amazing just how calm and laid back they've become. If none of the other cows get upset about your presence, than they spook shouldn't either. Be careful though! [/QUOTE]
