[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 400123, member: 5917"] Had fun reading all of the posts. Sorry Bez, but you might not like this. We spoiled our herefords with ground barley. All we have to do is go out in the pasture and start yelling "barley time" and we have over 50 head running at us. Alot of the cows you can not touch, but we have a few you can scratch. Yours are at a young age still and you can calm them down to where they will be pleasant to be around. Better then some that chase you up a fence, around the pen, or through the barn. We spend as much time as possible around our replacements. During calving we walk amoung them, and yes I know I'm crazy, we talk to them. If you are looking for just an eating animal a spayed heifer or a steer might be the best way to go. An unspayed heifer will go looking for a bull or you might have an unwelcomed visitor. Getting into cattle for the first time is a learning experience. Just take your time read as much as you can about them and pick the brains of the cattle people near you. You can see what I like from my "name". :D [/QUOTE]
