I'm back out in the pasture trying to make friends with the "little guy," a beautiful calf who is also very timid. Will I have success?

That was fantastic! Making progress. And, within a couple weeks he will be coming up to you probably as much or more than Doc. Thank you for sharing Pete! Life lessons ... patience and kindness and gentleness with animals earns their trust, since we humans are so advanced maybe we can figure out how to do the same with each other. Blessings to you and your family Pete!

Very few of us get that kind of chance: the sounds, the smells, the breeze, the companionship-extraordinary. You are a gentleman! Thanks for your vlog, Pete!

Hi Pete thank you so much for taking me back to a time in the sixties with my grandad on his farm. He had a farm on the Cheshire plains in the north west of England. I would spend time with him. We would walk through them and the would do the same as you walk up to him and as a 5 year old the were huge Angus’s but they seemed to know he was no danger to them. Steers went for meat heifers for breeding. Again thank you for just getting me back to a time with my hero. Nigel Old stoker retired Royal Navy

Pete , right at the beginning of this video you showed the problems of having domesticated cattle such as the Dexters. In your pastures they will eat the clover ( the " candy " ) first. Then maybe the sweet grass depending upon their choices. Highly domesticated cattle will leave the weeds to thrive. This is where the Scottish Highland cattle shine for pasture improvement. For they will eat it all ! Clover , sweet grass and the weeds. And being that they are also browsers , the Highland cattle will also eat the brush and brambles in a pasture. All while producing a highly rated premium beef and milk if they are also milked. And since they are a very hardy cattle that do not require a barn for winter , they are a win - win - win .

Like you I think next time you go to the field the brown calf will come to you, just be a little patient. Good luck with that. Great video, have a good day.

Beyond a doubt dairy cattle can sense fear, and anxiety. I have 3 brothers. Only 2 of us had the temperament. The other 2 would upset the cows, and cause problems. When Dad suggested # 3, and I milk I would announce I wanted to milk alone. Would have liked help, but didn't want a hassle.

You are right about the cows sensing your mind and attitude. We have about 12 head of cattle here on inlaws farm that you cant get anywhere near them. But they are used to people being high strung and yelling to sort and move them. Wish I could close like you do.

Around 8:00 - Pete....aka "Salt Lick" to the cows, especially once you took the hat off. 11:30 - perhaps the thought you were looking for is to become one with the surroundings. Great vid as always. Calming. Howdy from the Pacific Northwest.

My thought on mob grazing is it’s better to give the cows structure. I think they do better and are healthier because they have to eat a variety instead of just the sweets. I also think your pastures grow back better and quicker! Best of luck with your decision!

I notice that Rusty's mother is not the friendliest cow in the herd. Often that will impact how friendly the calf is. A calf is impacted by it's mother's behavior. Now that doesn't mean that you can't make friends of a calf with a skittish mom, but it will be more of a challenge. Good Luck, Pete!

I agree, I believe they can sense things from us that assure them, or warn them. I'd suggest mimicking that you're grazing with him... it's "less predator" type behavior to be doing what they do, and in that same slow/relaxed manner in which they do. It'll be quite the personal victory when that moment arrives.
