I was thinking about what Hugh had to say about working around cattle and now I can admit it!! Cattle can be placated with gentleness and talking and they get to know what you mean, then they come close for a sniff of you and then its licking your sleeve and then pretty soon..you can walk up to them and scratch their backs or neck. My cattle have learned a call I have for them and they know it is worth coming for as it ususally results in corn or some other treat. When they got out last summer I had several people ready to help and I told them to stay back and I'd call on them if I needed them. I called the cattle and walked slowly and headed for the gate at the back of the barn...in about three minutes I had them in , by myself...there's nothing worse than a stranger or someone running..that can stampede cattle quicker than a cherry bomb, and since my kids think I'm nuts for bantering with the cattle....well maybe I am off a little..I got 11 cats in the barn I talk to as well..I agree with Hugh!... be careful out there farming Farmallers.....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment.
