[QUOTE="Alan, post: 453850, member: 378"] I agree with you on bulls and stallions, but not so much with cows, steers, geldings and mares. While I do think some of the mentioned previous four can be dangerous due to temperment, I think many, especially mares and geldings are very safe to be around. Now this is not to be confused with the ablity of a 1500 lb animal killing you due to an accident, ie; horse spooks in the stall and crushes you on a wall. (just for you anti stall folks) feeding multiple horses in a pasture, one wheels to kick another and catches you in the head. I walk around and have my back to my cows all the time with no worries, the only time I really watch my cows is when they have a new calf on he ground, in the working pen, or when I'm trying to lead them somewhere they don't want to go and I'm using grain... I never let them crowd me. But then again, with my Herefords, I have a no tolerance policy, the first time they act aggressive for any reason I see as not justifed, they grow wheels, I don't put up with nuts or fence jumpers either.... moves them up the cull list very fast.
