Re: Cows feelings
This message is from: Tamara Jane Habberley [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

We had one at the stable. It came when I called it, including once when it was making a run for the street and it stopped dead and returned when I yelled it's name. It quickly learned that whenever it saw me head for my car, I came back with a treat. Once when I left the door open, it was starting to crawl into my 300ZX just as I came back, apparenly realizing where the goodies were kept. It learned to block my path to my horse, if both were out together, so I would have to pay attention to it. It would stand in my path when I was riding, so I would get down to move it away. Did a lot of things that didn't seem like a dumb animal. Merek

Cows feelings
This message is from: Janne Myrdal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lisa, good going,- but in fear of offending cow people, I cannot respond to the feeling question for cows, ha. Now, the calves I have to bottle feed sometimes they are cute!!! Cows are just dumb if you ask me. Sorry! Moving on and back to horses. Went to a local horse sale last night with a friend, bottom of the barrel sale so to speak. I cannot handle going to those sales, as half the horses go to slaughter, and that only because people have NOT taken care of them, or because they breed w/o purpose and so the result is like a bunch of yearlings etc with nowhere to go. Probably a few of the Belgians that came thru are out of peelines(sp?) Sorry, just had to steam off here. G Janne in ND, 22 degrees today, but where I am watching the inauguration today, sorry some of you but I'll be glad to see W in there.
