[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1304161, member: 6291"] Isn't that like rule #1 or #2 in the cattle business? I remember being told never turn your back on a cow and always stand your ground. Not sure which one came first. When I was younger my "Houston uncle" came down and was fishing at the tank. One of the bulls down there started messing with him and he came up back to the house saying it tried to charge him and all kinds of stuff. My dad got mad because when he asked him what he did he said he ran to the truck and left. My dad told him some thing to the effect now he is going to do it all the time... ect... ect My uncle smarted back some thing about... you go do it then. So there we go to the pasture. My dad grabbed a big stick and I was following along on his heels probably 7 or 8. I remember him saying some thing like get big and don't back down. That bull was pawing and bellering and all kinds of stuff. I was scared to death. He walked right up to that bull and busted him across the head. When the bull turned we went to wapping until he was running faster than we could. :lol: Now with all my replacement heifers I take my fiber glass stick in with me to feed. If I can reach them they get popped. They learn to respect your space. I do the same things with relatives but I use a hot shot. :) [/QUOTE]
