About the behaviour of my cattle
My cattle started getting really wild over the last month or two. Especially in the last few weeks, it's become so hard to even bring them home; they keep running away and getting into the fields. Even when they don't get into a field, they jump and run around and go as far as places they don't know at all. Whenever I step in front of them to stop them from running away, they try every way.
They don't have any illnesses, they eat plenty of grass, and they don't go hungry. If I took them to a place with no grass and grazed them, I could say, 'It's because they're hungry,' but I always take them to places with plenty of grass—their bellies are full. At home, I also feed them corn stalks and make them mash, but nothing changes. I have two cows, two oxen, and two calves, and it's not just one of them, it's all of them. At the same time, two oxen were constantly fighting; this was nothing out of the ordinary, but recently two cows had also started fighting with each other, even though they were pregnant. I'm so confused, they're like this every single day. What should I do? Why might they be behaving like this? They weren’t like that before.

Punkin!
Picked up a mountain of pumpkins today! What ways do you feed your livestock for free or cheap? I am always on the lookout for good deals on feed.
Pumpkins and squash are healthy, full of good nutrients, they aid in deworming, and they are also a good source of natural foraging enrichment.
We have american guinea hogs, meishans, a mangalitsa, and some domestic hybrids. They were all so happy that we got a mountain of squash for them.
