[QUOTE="dun, post: 442528, member: 34"] Alwasy have an exit strategy and don;t crowd them. To get them used to you, sit down somewhere close and read outloud. Nothing exciting that will put a voice inflection in what you're reading. They'll get used to having you around and get used to your voice. I've done it for years, just read outloud and didn;t pay any attention to the cows. They'll evbentually come up and just sort of hang around. With new cows and calves at weaning it's surprising how fast they'll settle down. If I'm in the mood I'll dump some grain in a trough and sit by it and read aloud. But I'm one of those warped people that would rather hang around with cows then most people and find being around them to be better then booze or dope at making me feel better. [/QUOTE]
