I’d recommend feeding the cows in the float as often as possible to encourage confidence and good behaviour. Enjoying your videos 😊

@daninic9355 that is a brilliant suggestion. These weren't raised by me but all of my cows get halter broken & lead trained
@daninic9355 4 күн бұрын
@@honey-bee-farmstead I think the more exposure and experience we give our animals to situations they may encounter in the future builds confidence to ensure not only our lives are easier but potential owners. Being halter broke is definitely heigh on the list 😃 nice!

Fantastic to hear about Gracie, I love watching her on your channel. She is such a great helper. It’s such a shame these days there is still a lot of bullying. Good job on seeding …. We are doing the same . We have learnt that this year that we really struggled with feed and still buying proudness bales to feed all the animals . Love your channel and learning heaps too. Thanks Mel. ❤ 2 weeks ago we had our first twin lambs born - nice and healthy. And now we have penned another ewe going to lamb soon. - can’t wait!
