[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 837449, member: 14334"] Welcolme Welcome Welcome. As above said if the fence is not 100% they will go through it. If you are worried about that put an electric fence up around your property and as long as that is working they wont' touch it. I have been told to never pet a beast on the forehead. They will lower their head for you to scratch, but then you do not see the sign if they are lowering their head to butt you, and you let them get close enough to you because you think they want a scratch. Remember that it is the quietest one in the herd that can kill the farmer and never go near them with newborns. Keep right away. Do not feed them anything. 2 rules in the country. Leave a gate the way you found it and do not feed any body else's animals. You give them anything and they die, whether it is because you fed them or not and you will be blamed. This goes for grass clippings from a lawn mower as well. Do not give them to horses it will make them sick. Maybe cattle as well. Same with carrots and apples do not give to a horse, they can cause choke, which can be fatal and again it is your fault. Some people do not want their dogs fed or patted as they are in training as guard dogs, not pet dogs. So just keep the rule that you do not interfere with other peoples animals or gates. Unless there is cruelty to an animal in which case you do not take it on yourself but call the authorities and yes every farmer would appreciate a phone call if you see something wrong with their cattle or fences. I would love you for that. [/QUOTE]
