My oldest still hasnt gotten over cattle feeder disease so he’s packing 3 buckets of popcorn/pellets to the ones fromlast year each day and even started doing rotational grazing with the 2 little pasture area.
The ones from last year are still super friendly and you can pet 4 of the 5 without any feed or anything with ya. One bwf wants its head rubbed everytime you go in to feed them before it eats feed.
Good on your oldest!!!!
Its not the worst disease to have - - - might even make him some $$$$ in time - - - grin!
Suggest that he not pet the critters on the head up by the horns - - - have found that over a period of times gets them to think that they can bunt for their affection.
That when they are 1200# isn't very affectionate.
Scratching them under the chin seems to be appreciated and doesn't program them to bunting - - - at least in my experience.
(Just trying to set him up for safe activity with 'his' critters.)
