Soule: Four Ways to Create a Unique Bond With a Cow

Cow Coach Carole's Words Wisdom: Never think you're smart enough. There is always more to learn.

Do you ever wonder how your dog thinks? It's usually easy to read your dog's mind: "I want to go out," "I'm hungry (always)," "I love you." How about your cat? She's more like, "Leave me alone," "Scratch my belly," "Leave me alone. I mean it. Leave. Me. Alone." Our pets have trained us how to behave, and, for some reason, we love them for it.

Cats and dogs are usually smaller than most of us, so if they get out of hand, we can overpower them, which sometimes works.

But what about cattle? Cows are bigger and heavier than humans, so forcing them to do anything is impossible.

Instead, it takes a lot of convincing. But before the convincing comes observation. I've watched and learned cow psychology in the 24 years I've raised cattle.
