[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1779233, member: 6291"] You have to balance them some times. Not all have the natural flight zone you want. Just with handling them more and more some will get more and more comfortable and you will have to reinforce the boundary. We close the flight zone with feed usually. Some times it happens intentionally and some times it's unintentional. I would definitely see if he does it over and over and if it gets better or worse. Consider what the situation was around the action and see if you do some thing different if you get the same reaction. I try to avoid going right at a bulls head on. Cows also for that matter. Most all animals see that as aggressive move. When I want to get cattle moving I try to get in behind them and get them moving. Even if it's not in the right direction just get off their hip and get movement. If they keep turning and squaring up head first then you have another issue. [/QUOTE]
