I grew up with cows. Be kind to them. Talk to them. Give them treats. The herd would follow me everywhere. It's all about the relationship. I always thought that most people that got kicked by cows deserved it, either by action or character.

Our cows were like pets to us. I remember as a kid leaning against one of our cows that was laying chewing her cud. I used her like a couch and snuggled right in. With the rhythmic sound of her chewing the next thing you know I was fast asleep lol. I woke with a start when she decided to stand up. They would always walk to us to greet us and get a head scratch or a back stroke or a neck rub. We were just part of the herd to them.

What an outstanding, worth while human this mans is. If all live stock were treated like this i doubt I would have became vegan. This guy is proof that animals don't have to suffer horrific abuse every day of their lives until they are killed. That is a choice some people make. It is the unnecessary cruelty of live stock that I object to. We need more people like this guy. I thank him for his wisdom and compassion.

My buddy's Dad had a small farm when I was growing up. There was one cow who was a real sweetheart. She always went right where he wanted her to, never giving him a lick of trouble. That old girl eventually died of old age, never being taken to the butcher. He just loved her so much. On the other hand, he got a couple of aggressive cows that went right off as soon as it was time to cull the herd just because of their attitude.

I watch all of your videos now, but just found this old one. I raise a few Angus. Our bull is gentle and likes to have his neck rubbed, but he is BIG so you have to be careful not to get between him and a wall or fence. Our boss cow is very pushy, but I'm not afraid of any of them. Because even a year old is large you must be careful in tight spaces. I don't raise them to be touchy feely, but some are and some aren't They all when come when called. Just a quick "Moo!" will bring them all. I love you very educational videos. If I ever get to that area again I will hunt you down. LOL

The calves will be halter trained already when they arrive. So we will be one step up… but will assume they are confused and scared when they arrive. Should we put them into the barn for a few days first when they arrive?

What a beautiful, nuanced, and honest video. It is a tough decision. I know its not something strictly i need, but its something I want and if I can use every part of the animal, like eating egg laying chickens, than i actually feel morally correct about it. Then there's also the thing about living to die or not living at all. Buying beef from you i take solace in the knowledge that these cows have a chance to live one of the bests life's possible. Is it better to live a good life only to be killed, or to never exist at all? I think it's the former. That being said i draw my own personal lines, like not eating any veal or any pork, and a whole host of other animals including dogs, cats, whales, etc etc etc. And I'll advocate for my opinion on these and try to convince people likewise, but at the end of the day its a tough discussion and tough decision.

I am going for semi docile cows too; they are all trained to follow drums. I scratch my cows on head nubs; so maybe I should stop doing that; but they seem to like it. They do push sometimes for fun, then run away and kick up legs.

My buddy's father was killed loading up for the auction. The driver took a load to market and his Dad stayed at the farm to separate the next load. He was a her with 750 acres. He's been doing this all his life. When the driver got back and couldn't find his father in law. Sadly his son was on the tractor and drove him to the barn. He escaped the barn and ran up the hedge row to sneak up on his Dad he was 5 years old and he loved to run. His Dad didn't see him and the huge bush hog a he ran over him. Heartbreaking. When he got back and he got knocked out and a huge cow ran over his head over and over and over. He was flown to a trama center. He was in and out of a coma but died 8 days later. Only blessing was every one of his friends and family. They put the cow down. Sad huh? Just be careful Pete we want you around for at leas
