This one farm I was hunting in Alberta this past season hadmany cattle and the deer would feed with the cattle. I saw two differant bucks leave a pasturethat had lots of cows (Whitefaced Herfords) at first light one morning. The farmer said they feed togeather often. They do give the cows room.
I use to hunt a farm that had Black angus cattle and you could watch the deer feed with them. The deer would even run out in the field and mix in with the cattle sometimes when we would be walking around. It's as if they knew they were safe with the cattle and knew we would not shoot in that direction.
