[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1752365, member: 24816"] I agree, with having a way to keep the cattle away from the guests on the property if need be. We have an Airbnb farm stay, most of the time guests are respectful and follow our guidelines about not approaching the animals or barns without us present. There have been a few instances mainly with larger bookings like weddings where folks have not respected the house rules. During one wedding booking some children were not supervised as we expect and they went through or over a gate and went in a barn. We also have very territorial dogs that are aggressive, we try to keep them contained and away from guests, Guests are made aware of them and warned not to go near them. Recently, during a wedding booking my wife was walking the most aggressive dog on a leash, at a time that was stated as the time the dogs are out. One of the men was outside during that time anyway and tried to approach the dog even with my wife telling him not to. Oh I’m not afraid of him, he said. Some people just don’t think rules or recommendations apply to them, and they don’t understand the unpredictable nature of animals. You have to be vigilant in trying to prepare for that and protect them from their selves. As for Longhorns, I’ve had a couple and liked them. Currently don’t have any, but they are great conversation pieces and guests seem to enjoy seeing them during farm tours. [/QUOTE]
