Hello:
New here. I got some Angus heifers this year that have not been messed with. They are 4 months old. I have been trying to tame them down by handfeeding and just trying to touch them to get used to me. One has already run thru the fence when she first came. We got her back and she is locked up in a stall right now.
The other three<we have 4> are doing a little better. Two have let me touch them on the nose, and one licked my finger. I guess that's a good sign?
We are trying to train them to come when its feeding time. Right now, we have them in a small fenced in area<the rest of the pasture is hotwire>, but they wont come. I have to go walk behind them to get them into the stall.
Any suggestions as to how to tame them down a little? I want them to come when called before letting them out onto the rest of the pasture.
