    Spoiled cows
    I have two steers that are just a bunch of spoiiled little things. They always get in my way when I feed them and they are big cows. In 5'5" and I can barely see over there back. Well, wheni clean their pen that they sllep in, they are allways in my way. I want them out of my way, but I don't want to hurt them in the process.
    Can you help me?

    I know nothing about cows, but with horses I would get a rope and swing it in a circle by my side. Usually they run away and if they try to come back swing the rope again. You might have to bump them on their rump, but that won't hurt them, just give them the message.

    I have tried pushing them on the rump and they move, but they move right back to the same spot.

    Guess you won't like my idea but a cow prode, slightly shocks them but they most certainly know to move.

    I think animals are smarter than we think they are sometimes, like they know when we'll give in. Maybe if you're really stern with them they'll get the hint. Sorry I'm not expert.

    All of your answers were good, but they didn't work. I am thinking of getting a cow probe. I really don't want to though.

    You could try getting a bit of their favorite food to coax them out of the way, either lead them away yourself or toss the food on the ground just out of their reach and they will soon move to get to it!
