Re: An Audience When my brother wanted to pen his cows,he would park a running tractor in the corral, open the gate and wait for them to come check it out. I had an English Pointer that was attracted to anyone on a ladder. If they stood on the ladder working he'd just hang out a couple of rungs below. Not really a problem until they wanted to back down because he hadn't figured that part out yet. The choices were,risk falling trying to get past him,kick him loose or climb onto roof (if possible) where he would follow,climb down then call me to get my *$%#@! dog off their roof. ,

Re: An Audience Cows are never a problem with flash. They just never seem to care and don't look at it much. Horses, on the other hand, will either run or come up and stare right at the flash. If there are loose horses around, it's best to get the owner to put them up.

Re: An Audience When I was a kid every time we were outside doing anything, building fence, cutting brush, etc., there was a Roadrunner that followed us around as long as we were out there. Sometimes 6 or 8 hours at a time. He learned to associate us with bugs and lizards being stirred up! This went on for almost 10 years. After a few years he got so tame we could almost put a hand on him!
Re: An Audience American Bulldog. Wont let them near unless you tell it to "catch"
Re: An Audience Originally Posted by Mikel_24 I would be worried about flashing the animals. With enough time they will learn to get away whenever you start welding, cuting or grinding but in the process they may get somewhat injuried. We do worry about pets in the shops (there has been some threads about it here in WeldingWeb, why not worry about other farma animals? I would try to install something to avoid direct exposure.

Re: An Audience I got a call this morning from a Horse lady, who happens to be a doctor. Her horse waterer was frozen. A fraudulently disabled local handyman had installed the equipment. Short term fix was simple, long term fix will require excavation. Horses are gentle creatures, as were the three Great big white dogs. (I'm worried about the fourth, the Pit Bull attacked a couple years ago). Nonetheless, tools can not be in the enclosure. They ruin tools, and swallow what they shouldn't. Sweet animals, they slow the process. One had a split hind hoof that obviously caused him pain. I can't tolerate suffering in animals.

Re: An Audience Horny cows like Chevy pickups. This is why when I was single, I never drove my Chevy truck to the bar on Saturday nights. Attracted nothing but horny cows.

Re: An Audience sounds like a bunch of bull to me
Re: An Audience No cows on my place, but instead it's a neighbors pet deer. He's attracted to the sound of my tractor. When I fire it up, here he comes. First time it happened I had just fired it up, and was hooking up my box blade. Next thing I know there's a nose and chin laying on my shoulder. Scared the dodo out of me.
Re: An Audience I bought a bunch of hay from this guy that runs a boarding stable for horses. He'd bought this stuff, and the horses wouldn't eat it, so he put it out there at a pretty good discount. I bought all he had left. So, I made the second load last Thursday. Guy's loading the trailer, and the horses swamped us. THEY WERE EATING THE HAY OFF THE TRAILER Wouldn't eat it when placed in front of them, but decided it was pretty good stuff once it was on the trailer (my cows ain't crazy about the stuff either BTW)
Re: An Audience dam, that big brown and white one with the very large horns dont look too friendly...any thing a 1000lbs plus of solid muscle needs to be respected...Id have a bag of apples to keep them happy....
Re: An Audience I did a lot of work for a local dairy and while my truck was usually in an alley they could lick on the truck at times and they would slobber the hell out of it. Also when leads are stretched out across pens they would snatch onto them and give them a tug while your welding. If welding where they were they would pull gloves from your pockets if you stayed in one place too long. then when done welding I have seen them lick the very pipe you just welded 2 minutes ago.
Re: An Audience They like to rub. Automotive sheet metal can't tolerate a cow scratching its as$. If it is an ongoing project, an electric fence will help you get your work done.
