[QUOTE="VCC, post: 640399, member: 6399"] I have seen steers act that way when they get to a new place and are separated from the other cattle, once they get with other cattle and or settle in the fight or flight instinct tends to diminish. If after a couple weeks he continues to act that way, I would really consider shipping him and not retaining any of his offspring. If he acted that way before you purchased him and was also with other cattle I would also be concerned. We always avoid the high headed, tail up, turn and stare you down cattle, if they are acting like that when with other cattle. If they just tried to hide or crowed in with the others calves, but act up when they get to the house it was usually fear and nothing else. Have had some pretty docile calves try and blow snot in my pocket when they were scared and decided to fight instead of flight at that time. [/QUOTE]
