It looks like he was just practicing for the rut. Depending on the competition, he may need another year to be a serious contender.

Sir! Sir! Please dismount the un-interested cow and go on about your business! Although I give him a B+ for initiative and wanting to practice, he gets a D for timing :lol:.

WapitiTalk1. That is cool to see. So the biology books that I read talk about cows coming in early. It would be interesting to have seen this with your own eyes. To see if she really was coming in to estrus or if he was a normal guy. Lol

There were 2 cows there, but he was following the one around with his nose stuffed up her backside the whole time they were there, so who knows, maybe its possible. But i think hes just jumping the gun a bit
