I bottle fed a Holstein years ago, dh told me to not go into the pasture with him anymore when he got big. Dh told me to carry a heavy stick when I had to go around the steer as when they get older they no longer are the sweet babies we remember!!
This especially holds true with the males. Steers are not as bad as a bull. NEVER turn your back on a bull no matter how gentle he is. Their personalities turn in an instant!

Hey Nifty:

I was just thinking this past week that we should have a backyard cows...imagine my surprise when I came home on logged on to BYC and found BYCows. Way to go! As soon as we get some land (my 1/3 acre doesn't cut it) we would love some cows, and alpacas, and horses, and sheep......

This is sooo cool!!! But...I don't think many of us have cows, huh?? LOL So, how are we going to learn about cows when there's only a couple of cow owners??!! jes' sayin' Any road (British for anyway), I think it's great there's now a BYCows site. Oh. One thing my father taught me when I was a girl... the cows in Canada say "La Mooo". Good ol' dad.

Start by asking your questions and see what you get for answers.
