[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 359582, member: 6007"] You now have a fence crawler - and yes - she knows how to get out - so she will. That is why tight fences and powered electric fences with excellent ground are required. Three strands are suitable for cross fence or range fence - but not suitable for boundary fence - especially in your part of the world - add a string or better two - and stretch it tight. Or add some electricity to that fence line - or get used to round up and rodeo. You could put a collar on her - but if she decides to walk through, she will simply tear the wire down. Suspect she is after feed - give her more than she can eat - they seldom leave feed - unless the grass is starting to green up. Herd animals also need another for company - one alone is trouble with a capital T. As for leading - well if this a mature cow - good luck. Tie her to a tractor and start pulling - after about a week she might be good on a string - but personally I would not even waste my time. Build better fences, get her a friend and teach her to love the bucket - then put your water in a solid pen - you will always be able to catch her. Infrastructure - vital and usually not paid enough attention to - good luck - others will have more for you. Bez> [/QUOTE]
