“You can actually train cattle to come running… for molasses!” 🐮👇

If someone had told you that a cow could be trained like a dog, would you believe them?
One Australian farmer didn’t — until he tried it.

By using a rum distillery byproduct called Dunder, he’s created a powerful behavioural link in his herd. The cows can smell it from across the farm, and one lead cow — April — now charges up the hill to bring the mob in.

This isn’t just a neat trick — it’s a low-stress livestock management hack that builds trust, tractability, and makes handling cattle easier than ever.
