[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1758714, member: 18945"] Are your longhorns all cows (female), steers, or what? Will the newcomer be a steer? Will newcomer be horned or polled? As Alacowman said, newcomers will always get tested (or do the testing if they are aggressive enough) and it can appear to be a little brutal, depending who the top of the pecking order already is. I had more problems in the middle than at the top, as the dominant cow was usually cut and dried and sorted itself out pretty quick, within a day. Farther down the pecking order tho, a wannabe or 2 would give newcomers heck bullying for as long as newbie would put up with it and if newbie was a weak one, it could go on for as long as it was there or as long as the couple of bullies were still around. Multiple Bulls.. That's a way different story. [/QUOTE]
