Visitors...๐ป
Actually she's lived here for many, many years.
Never a bother that we've ever noticed.
Rarely ever see her but she likes the oats this year apparently ๐ and the cubs do too, they look like quite the little chunky babies haha.
They weren't listening to her very well or I wouldn't have been able to get pictures from the tractor ๐.
This is most likely the reason that the cows are a bit more aggressive running the dogs out of the field lately.
I didn't realize how much they would chase the dog until walking across the field yesterday and having to send him away through the fence so they didn't get him, he wasn't thrilled with that because he feels he needs to be beside me at all times.
If he's not working them, then he's a target apparently, poor guy. Glad he's faster than they are because they really wanted to flatten him it looked like, the whole herd on a flat out run towards the dog ๐.
Anytime he tried to come back in, they'd run toward him again!
Thankfully they recognize me and don't chase me too...unless it's for scratches. Lol.
I'd bet the cubs have been curious about the cows.
Cows hazing them off is good, if they imprint that on the bears, then they won't be too quick to think cows are dinner.
I'd like to think that if I were walking around, the cows would protect me... I really doubt they would, more likely they'll mow me down while they run away, but maybe. ๐
They're a bit of an odd bunch, one likes to run away and the others chase things haha.
The calves and yearlings are usually leading everyone on the chase!
Pretty happy bears from the look of it. Green grass in one pasture beside them, oats in the field, and a dugout for water right close.
She's a pretty good bear if you have to have a bear for a neighbor :)
Beautiful fall colors now ๐พ๐ป
