[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1701127, member: 41443"] I agree, if the rodeo approach is the norm, decline any further assistance. Herd animals aren't that difficult, they're herd animals because they're prey herbivores, so your approach needs to be calm and understood that you're the predator. What you're actually trying to accomplish is to shorten the distance they'll move off your approach to the direction you want them to move to, without them realizing you want them to move that direction as a herd, not individually. (if that makes sense) It has never made sense to me to make loud noise, sweeping movements or chasing motions to a prey animal. Any idiot can make a prey animal run, the trick is to get them to move the direction and speed you want them to move, and letting them think they're making that choice, if that makes any sense.
