My 19 month old holstein heifer has been acting goofy the last month. She was bred in Nov (due in Aug.). She has been acting friskier, running around when I'm out there, wanting to come up to me and push me with her head, kicking up her heels, etc. I this due to her age, her pregnancy, or the beginning of a bad habit? She is our only cattle, but she has 3 pygmy goats for her herd. She has always been gentle with all of us. She is still calm and gentle around any neighborhood kids. She's kind of had one time during the day that she was always a little frisky, but I thought I'd ask the pros. Everyone has always said that these gals settle down after they have their first calf, and I've always thought, "She's not wild to begin with." Is this the behavior that they settle down from? I've always wanted to deal with a teenage child and a teenage heifer at the same time
