[QUOTE="Karin, post: 1303737, member: 18961"] I'm voting for play too. I've had steers do that to me plenty of times, and actually had one do that to me yesterday on a farm visit and all I did was approach him in a calm yet assertive manner to let him know I wouldn't take any of his BS and he skittered away like a chicken to join his buddies. I've done the same thing with heifers and steers, chase them off (not run just walk toward them real business-like) to show quite plainly that I mean business and they learn surprisingly quick to leave me be. Very rarely do I ever use the stick method, I never see the point of using one unless there's a really, really good reason for it. Otherwise, body language and how you act and are really thinking when simply being around them is the clincher (usually) to getting a pesky bovine to learn you're not a play toy. [/QUOTE]
