Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 They must love something different i've had so much fun with them over the years... Played bagpipes. Wow - all the farm dogs joined in too. Got my best crowd ever. Dad used to play clarinet - that got them in too. And one time - I did the Mr Bean Busker dance (no music) - they really enjoyed that too. I dare Willem to do Mr Bean busking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roova Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Please excuse the derailing Willem but had to share a picture of my Dad's cows. Its a photo of an old photo but do anything in the paddock and they'll come over and stand in a semi circle around you to see what you're doing. :laugh: Edited September 24, 2016 by Roova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Those cows are not desexed and aren't showing any aggression? nah, the cows are actually bulls :D ....but we getting closer.... :laugh: Are you sure...did you look....very unusual to have so many bulls in the one paddock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbaudry Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'd hazard that at best, they could be steers? I think you should have words with the farmer and direct him to some "scientific" studies like Mercola :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 very unusual to have so many bulls in the one paddock My uncle would do this. Like the boys club. Because he sold his bulls as breeding stock. So he'd have about 15 to 20 of various ages - usually sold them about 2 years old and had the next generations coming on... And get this - had a guy come in and teach them the bovine equivalent of loose lead walking and show stacking - with reward based training - same as zoo critters. Ie you want your bulls to be friendly with people and easy to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what they do here ...the black one at the fence where she did the drop is much bigger than the others ... he actually charged the last time when we trained the drop...they can be nasty - a bull actually killed her father (worked as a cattle dog) the breeder told me recently.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 they can be nasty it's important not to keep the nasty ones... but I like to have an electric fence between me and them most of the time... just in case one gets stung by a wasp and blames me.

m-j Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Recall with Whistle the recall training today was somehow special...lets see whether someone can point it out.... No don't see it but lots of Pavlov though from both you and her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjrt Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Did we work it out yet? All I've got is she recalled super the last time but you whistled instead of using the whistle, got the same response both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Was there something else in the cow paddock? There appeared to be a red object. A fox? Hard to tell with the quality of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willem Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 o.k....here is the (first) clue:....Pavlov might help you :) ...so it has something to do with my pet hate ....de-sexing respectively if you leave them entire....
