HE has been a herder for years and has formed a close relationship with his cows.

Thabiso Montleng (38) said they even dance and chill with him in his house.

He said when they are wild, he knows how to calm them down.

When Daily Sun visited him, Thabiso was seen putting a stick in the cow’s mating organ. He said by doing this, he makes it to feel good and calms it down.

“People don’t know that animals have moods like humans. There are days when they are wild and refuse to do what they are told. This is when I have to do my tricks to calm them down.”

Thabiso said he has been herding cattle for more than 10 years.

“I understand my cows and they understand me. I speak to them and they understand and do as I tell them.

“I look after them and take them to the dip. We live in an area that’s rife with stock theft. It’s important to protect my animals. I have dogs to guard them,” he said.
