The last yard I moved from had pedigrree swiss cattle. they were lovely animals and quite strong characters. Each winter they would come stomping into the indoor yard lie down and refuse to move until feed and securely penned in. As soon as spring came of they would stomp back down to pasture. Thye had very strong personalties and liked being fed stale bred, but didng puch like horses do. Just begged by waggling their tongues out! Could be quite exciting over the cross country course if the younger heifers decided to join in to. The yard owner had TB and Irish Draguht mares adn stallions but said the cattle were far brighter overall.
