Let's Ask Kathy 😄

YES!

You picked the wrong cow. You need to find mellow ones.

I've got a calf I'm working with to ride when he's older.

I suggest you feed him a lot, try and get some fat on his backbone.

That's the plan. He's already real friendly.

Yes, you should work with them a lot before riding, try and get them to come and follow you. Then have it get used to you on its back, you can put a pad on him if he has a really boney back. I worked on this for years with my friend, and we still couldn't get him to walk while sitting on his back.

He follows me around the field whenever I go out, so that's already done. He's also halter trained and will walk on a lead.

I don't think I would try to ride one of our cows, it would be cool but I don't think they would like it.

Porcupines make the cutest sounds.

That is great! Sounds like you just have to get him comfortable with you on his back and wait till he is older to support more weight than just himself. Ours wouldn't eat grass you gave him. (And he was the nicest of them all, I sure have some stories!)

He's currently 4 months. And getting big. What breed were yours?
