[QUOTE="Dusty09, post: 617211, member: 9228"] Hi Everyone, My name is Erin and I'm seeking some advice on my pet steer. The background info: He's a Dexter yearling. He was purchased as a companion for our heiffer. The bloke who sold him to us said he'd had his horns scooped out and had been cut, however, he now has quite large horns and seems to have some personality issues. We have a 25 year old Jersey cow who is yarded seperately from the younger two as she was chased around the paddock by the steer. When I say chased, he planted his head up her butt and ran and ran relentlessly until she fell - not so great for a cow of her advanced years. He's also tried it on the Heiffer, who on one occasion has also fallen. Tonight he jumped the fence for a repeat performance with the old cow. I have never seen this behaviour before, having only ever had cows as pets, and I was wondering if perhaps it was that he hadn't been neutered properly... If anyone can shed some light on this issue it would be greatly apprieciated! Thanks [/QUOTE]
