[QUOTE="cherokeeruby, post: 32250, member: 199"] I know what you mean, you have to do it judiciously. First you have to start with an animal that trust you, where 99% of the time you are as friendly as can be. But it will not take him long to learn that when he oversteps his bounds you are displeased. I wouldn't be swatting him for wanting to run to a feed pan already full of feed. But if you are petting him and he gives you a head butt I don't see anything wrong with giving him a light tap on the nose, then walking away. Just pay attention to how cattle treat each other out in the pasture. Doesn't bother them a bit to give another one a good head butt if they are aggravated. The response should be in proportion to the transgression. The only animal who will hold a grudge is a nut case anyway. Better to find out sonner than later. All of the above is my opinion only. Maybe BullLady will chime in. [/QUOTE]
