Not very often that grazing is attached to the home place here. Went through a little town yesterday where a guy was bringing some cows into town and in the barn from pasture. He had a cage made of stock panels about 8'x20' with a trailer hitch on one end and lights on the back with spindles welded on the sides with wheels (like a single axle trailer without the axel). Had about 12 cows in it and was pulling it with his tractor with the cattle walking along like champs right down the main road.

Just thought I'd pass that on.

We got a fella Down the road a coupla miles, who will call his cows, and beat on a feed bucket, and they will follow him anywhere, single file! Once a neighbor's bull got loose, and ended up over there, when we went to get him, he followed the cows over same way, like he was trained, too!
 
My 28 cows do that For me , as long as i give them something out of the bucket when I am done moving .. ,, with a contraption Like the Germans use I would Be leary of damaging the Ham string Tendon from the end gate ,, Had a Cow stop in front of the Loader bucket one Day and damnear never healed up right , Cow Always had a LIMP .. hot summer did not help that wound heal ...
 
Dave, that's the way dad used to move the stock cows. He'd bang on the pail and the old bossies would come out the gate, go out the lane and up the gravel road. One of the pastures was a 2 1/2 mile walk. The first mile happened fairly fast, then they settled down to a slow walk for the rest of the journey. When they got close to the pasture they'd speed up again, go through the gate and spread out. The lead cow was always a wise old angus that knew the way. She was the first to find the weak spots in the fence too! Jim
 
Yep , I know the Sight ,, It always Makes Me Chukle when BESS and Bossie rounds the corner of that new frsh green pasture on the hi side of 3rd gear and itseems she starts grabbin'gears all the way down to low 1st creeper, with the rest of them gangin up behind the lead cows pushin there way in ... rekon, People Ain't much Different
 
That reminds me of a story. A farmer here in UK imported some Montebeliarde cows ( a dairy breed, not unlike a Simmental in looks )from France. The first time that he called them in for milking nothing happened! He did all the usual tricks, carried a bale of hay on his back, bucket of feed, still no response. Then of course he realized, They are FRENCH! so he remembered his old schoolboy French, called out to them "Viens ici" or whatever and they all came running!
