How will this work?

We have a Dexter cow, getting a Jersey cow (with horns)... wondering how they'll get along??

any ideas on merging the two? The jersey is used to being part of a big herd, but with horns, will she intimidated Spring?

Just want to be prepared for any eventuality...

Thanks

Well, I hope you will post on how it goes. We need to introduce our heifers to the horses eventually. They will be across the fence for a week or so before we let one of the horses in with the heifers.

Picture a ridiculous short hairy horse (Icelandic) in with our 'lil cows. It's going to look like a funny farm, indeed!
