[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1814335, member: 25884"] I have one, she is my "lawn ornament" and raises a real nice calf every year. She is quiet... and yes, she knows exactly where the tips of her horns are at all times. See her turn her head to get into a feed trough with the bars on the sides... tips her head to come through a tight spot. I feed her a little grain separate so that the other cattle can get in the feed trough and not get poked by accident... and she will eat off the ground right next to the car or truck, and never touch the paint on it. My son said I needed to be careful she would scratch the car ( my forester I use to go check cattle at a couple of pastures) ... and I said she will NOT scratch the paint...She is not much for being petted because the cow she was raised on was a bought one and not friendly... but she will stand back from the hot wire and not touch it.... and was not raised with it but knew right from the get go that it was not to be messed with. I like her and the best thing... NO DOGS will go in there and bother the calves.... so I know that is why there are no coyotes in there anymore either.... she will babysit the newest calves with hers. Jess (for Majestic) has a place here for as long as she breeds and then will be hamburger and I will keep her head/horns.... just because.... [/QUOTE]
