[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1800836, member: 9933"] I have tried the loud NO, but it doesn't phase her at all. I had also smacked her a few times at first, but it seemed like she got more aggressive. Like she thought it was a part of the game. She danced around and came in harder from another angle. After that I just would step around to an angle where she couldn't reach me. I am a little worried she might take kicking or hitting as a sign we need to set a pecking order. I don't want to end up in a fight I will lose. I haven't been in the pasture with them much in the last few days, since we let them out on grass, but she came to the fence right away when we checked them through the fence yesterday. At least she didn't crawl through the barbed wires to get to me this time. I guess she learned that hurt when she did it the other day. Part of my problem was that every time I walked through the cows in the pasture, I had with me a notepad and pencil to mark off eartags, a two way radio to communicate numbers with my husband, and a walking stick to stay upright on unlevel ground and move cows. My hands were more than full, so dealing with her too was a real pain. I need to go in empty handed, or with just a sorting stick, and work on just what is going on with her. [/QUOTE]
