I don't know if it would work on cows. I never tried. If you do let us know. ---kencoyoteken48https://www.blogger.com/profile/06182514695395380561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-76997306761455664322019-12-21T17:46:54.304-05:002019-12-21T17:46:54.304-05:00You ought to send her that video you posted back i...You ought to send her that video you posted back in October on low-stress cow handling.
