Yeah, that's true. There are some ladies in the herd, which don't pay attention to me walking, but once somebody not from us three enters the pasture, they would keep quite a distance even from us. We rarely have other people walking near our cattle, so they aren't used to it. This year a vet keeps visiting more often for AI, but girls still don't trust him. There are a couple individuals, which don't really care if it's a person they know. One almost always comes to check what we are doing there.Nesikep":1bke1m6e said:
There are identifying features about most cattle. If nothing else we tag most of ours so I know them by their tag. I almost always unless in a real hurry walk through every bunch of cattle when we check them. When I first started going down and helping her with the cattle when I got out many would leave the cake they were eating. Today most don't even move or raise their heads. I can touch most. I can't scractch all of them. They are a lot easier to handle now. Her and I do about all of the penning by ourselves. Let another person show up and they are leery.

I have some cows that love other people, and others that are totally tame with me that have a total dislike of strangers.. seems to run in the family too.
