    Congratulations on brushing Baby B...I know it must feel like a super success! I would be curious to see if Abby Dog would become friends with her again, as she's in a smaller space right now. Tip: if your health insurance covers other vaccines, it is likely to cover a rabies vaccine, especially as it's work-related, since you may run into rabid raccoons, etc. in the course of your work. It's a 3-shot, 5-week series for humans and immunity can last quite a while. I got mine originally in 2008 so I could help on a bat project where we trapped bats for a genetic study and I get my titers checked every two years--it always makes me smile when I get a letter in the mail from the doctor and it says that I am immune! I just now had to get a booster last year.

    With horses, you approach at the shoulder and use your fingers to give a minute or so of gentle scratching and massage on their neck. Then you can work in either direction with the brush. Also, you can get grooming gloves that let you brush with your hands. The gloves have little nubs on them that the animals (dogs, cats, horses) seem to enjoy.

    This might sound odd but you might have more success if you try to tickle their chin and jaw rather than go over their head. It’s a natural reaction to dodge away from something going onto the top of your head. Dogs and cats don’t like it so I would try that. I been amongst cows and they do love a chin and chest scratch rather than anywhere else. Yes they were dairy cows and a that’s a whole different cow but I had to mention it. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa.👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩 Edit: corrections.

    I’d suggest you halter train all of your calves with in the first few months of life, like the farm where Macho Man came from. You also need to work on your confidence around the cattle, don’t reach out, get up close to them don’t show your afraid of them, you to show them your in control. When you walk the cattle have a firm grip on the halter, that way you will have control of their head thus controlling the animal.

  • @kate2create738

    As someone with long hair, not a cow though lol, start brushing at the ends and make your way to the roots GENTLY. If you start at the roots, the excess hair can create tangling and it can be a great tug that makes it not fun for the cattle. If you're too forceful that could also likely spook them, the best method it to treat the brush as if it's a tool for a massage, the animals will likely appreciate the experience to feel better than a chase that likely spooks them.

    Ya if you can put them in a calving stall just before the mom's give birth, you'll be able to keep a better eye on the baby and mom, and then do a ton of hands on in the stall before you let them out with the heard again. If you do that with each calf, they'll prob all be a ton better to work with and even might be able to milk a few of them regularly. Also finding a higher value treat.

    It’s interesting having seen the journey for his original cattle in terms of them, being virtually feral when he got them to the point where he can put it around them and they have a working relationship with him. Also with Audrey being w Hopefully the new cows will realise this is the way the HEARD runs and how the farm eights start being more cooperative, though it will be fun and games with initially they get out in the fields.

    Good luck. I know from experience it's nearly impossible to get a semi wild calf to be chill around you! But I'm sure you will make progress as you are so patient and never give up

    It's gonna be so weird when Baby Bea will no longer be a baby... It never felt like that with the first 4 calves born on your farm. What are we even gonna call her "Not A Baby Bea" ?

    Since most of them already know and are used to the brushes from the happy cow mobile you might be able to use one of them on a shop broom to help the more skiddish ones get used to being brushed, then they'll associate you with the good scratch. Only downside is they might then think it's okay to brush against you yourself even when you don't have the comb.

    Your geese aren't nesting because they're unhappy with their nesting area in some way.

    Are the geese boycotting egg laying in protest of no acceptable nesting spots?

    Maybe the geese will lay eggs if you make a traditional nest for them
