[QUOTE="CharcoalWally, post: 4484222, member: 3171"] Cattle certainly are smart, and like humans it comes in differing degrees. I would expect that most of us that keep cattle have the same stories of the cow that works out how to open gates and doors when in the steading. They definitely learn how to "read" us, they work out our routine, personality and they therefore learn how we react to certain situitions, and then they place themselves accordingly. I would say this is a reasonably heightened level of cognitive thought. Sheep always used to amuse me in the days when I lambed inside. A week before they were due to start, a group of them would wander up their field and congregate at the gate. If I opened the gate, they would stream up the road to the lambing shed and stand looking in the gate. They knew that it was time to lamb and that it was time to get into the shed. Just get on with it [USER=3171]@CharcoalWally[/USER]. [/QUOTE]
