Steer Planet - Show Steers and Club Calves Forum

A few years ago when my daughter was 9 she was walking her steer, who was a little spooky, and her steer spooked over something and started jumping around trying to get away from her and stepped right on top of her foot. She let out one of those screems kids do when they are really hurt and as I went running over there and she was holding her foot up and still holding onto her steer. The strange thing was her steer who spooks over every little thing just stood there looking at her like he knew something was really wrong. It turned out her foot was broke. I still find it strange that the steer acted so calm when she got hurt I just wonder if cattle sense things like dogs do. You always hear about someone being hurt and their dog stays with them until help comes do you think that cattle can since things like that to or was ethe steer so scared by her screams that he was afraid to move.

 

Today I was able to get out and handle the calf and I noticed that his hair has two different textures. The grey is real short and curly and the white is straight and long will this change as he gets older?
