[QUOTE="novatech, post: 806152, member: 5494"] Well here goes. I'm going to completely disagree with a couple of you guys. Cattle are animals of prey. They stem from animals that used them as food. When animals were going to attack them they progressed forward to attack. Maybe looking them straight in the eye. When people stair into my eyes for to long a time it becomes intimidating. Cattle may feel the same. I would never walk directly toward a bull I was not familiar with. I walk past the bull, turn and walk past again, getting closer with each pass. Show the bull you are not being aggressive. The bull eventually figures out you are not going to hurt him. A more direct approach may be taken. This is the same technique I use in gentling down calves at weaning. Genetically Brahman have not seemed to have lost this trait for survival. They watch every move you make even when you don't think they are. [/QUOTE]
