[QUOTE="regolith, post: 854686, member: 9267"] Ay, the boards are dead at this time of night. So here's a question. How do you react if you see someone walking in your pastures, among your cows? I'm thinking now, as kids we roamed freely among the neighbouring farmer's fields and cattle. We used his dung midden for sledging in winter, and I made my first associations with cattle befriending the steers (there weren't other kids about, just our family). But now, if I see someone with the cows without my permission I'm inclined to think - who the hell is that, what the hell are they doing there even if I'm polite to them. And yesterday I discovered someone had been in the calf shed while I was in town, giving buckets of water to the 2-day old calves. Yeah, I know who it was, he can't keep his own stock alive & I'd rather he didn't interfere with mine. Something's got to meet halfway, surely? I think I'm probably way over-reacting because of the events of the last couple of years since some of my cattle have been harmed when I wasn't there. At the same time, there's a lot can go wrong with ignorant humans around. [/QUOTE]
