Moving a cow with a Border Collie

Brodey moving a cow off

[@NoxAtlas]

I'm really fascinated how their entire body language changes depending on which animals they work with. Makes sense since trying to push around one full grown cow is one a whole different level than guiding a herd of shep

[@theducknamednewepicla9507]

Yup

[@Bidmartinlo]

True, but I didn't think cows as very unruly or in need of herding. In Norway, and from my limited experience, we usually just shout at the cows to come home and then they come automatically... especially if it's cold or rainy outside. :)

@@janitraprimasanti2648 usually they are naturally working dogs so yes , but, so E just never mind if you don’t train them early and often. You want the relaxed but alert and mindful of both the herd and what’s happening around them and be willing to run off any potential danger which includes being able to control and monitor at least their end of the herd instinctively and som thing they enjoy and benefit from doing. Multiple dogs for every dozen sheep or cattle. with you while moving them say from one part of a field to another.

[@teripalmer9675]

My bc we're never put on leashes, they learned their first trick, sit in less than one minute. The first one took two commands and had it down pat. The second one had watched the first one and did it first try. In one week they learned all the indoor tricks. When I let them outside they walked the perimeter of my land with me each morning. After the first week I let them walk it in the mornings by themselves and I walked it with them in the evening. The cleared the animals that weren't allowed on my property, kept the critters off and brought in the cattle, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and would keep a loose rabbit in a small circle if I had to do something. One morning I came home from work and found a large white rabbit between them played out. I thought one of my does had gotten out. It was not mine. No one in the farming area claimed it. I eventually found a home for it. Those girls were smart. Deer, foxes, skunks, armadillo, racoons, rabbit, nothing was allowed on the property we walked. They could walk right by the property, but step on the grass and it was on. I miss those girls. No longer on the farm, but I miss them.

You mean most intelligent. I'm thinking about a border collie but I'm not fit enough at the moment, they need a LOT of exercise.

[@allisonsparks3281]

@kalenmcdavid8903 sure their not big but they are far more agile and intelligent than any dog you can name. Intelligence goes a long way I had my working line collie at the dog park when a dominate cane Corso tryed to bite and pin her but she was to fast and intelligent she turned bit it’s chest and stared fearlessly into its eyes growling the corso submitted by licking its lips with its tail between its legs. She’s also runs the house we have a dominate husky pit bull mix and a rott pit mix so I’d keep your mouth shut

[@boatsanhs9709]

@@kalenmcdavid8903they are far and away the best at biting cows. And they are ungodly tough. Mine is a tough gritty cow trained border collie that also hunts game fowl and coon. And he’s fought enough 1600 pound cattle that he’d put most pitbulls that have never been in a fight in their place. Depends on what your definition of powerful is but that meets my definition. No dog is more useful and no dog can do a really difficult job better.

[@boatsanhs9709]

@@kalenmcdavid8903they are among the most athletic and are clearly the most intelligent. And there is no other cow dog breed that comes even CLOSE to the border collie. And they can outsmart any “powerful” breed you come up with. Their mind is a more powerful tool than any other dog has.

[@WeeWyllie]

To herd a cow, the dog must dominate the cow by its intelligence, intensity of purpose and "force of personality". The dog must bring the cow to believe that the dog means business, and there is no other choice. The point is that the Border Collie is the kind of critter that tends to be well able to do this. If the dog shows the slightest hesitancy or "self doubt", the game is up. I watched a small herd of cows turn and chase my dog. It was a Samoyed, and while she was a wonderful dog, she was not all up to the job of herding even 1 cow. It was funny!

There's a reason the term "cow" is used as an insult. Especially the boss of the herd (always a cow), doesn't like her status challenged. They are frequently in heat so hormonal too.
