Their behavior and general level of relaxation changed with different leaders in charge, and the best scenario for 'pasture peace' (i.e. less nervousness in general) was with a herd boss that ran a tight ship without overdoing kicks and bites. Facinating stuff to watch and learn from.LandofWOZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518323270325094244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-32430082491069831382017-06-09T07:10:05.169-03:002017-06-09T07:10:05.169-03:00it does. it does.
