[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 485940, member: 4362"] I agree with respecting them and keeping an escape route and a safe distance from them. Mine will come within the radius of my arm's reach coupled with a 5' sorting stick. They have learned this is the comfort zone and their nose will hurt if they come closer. Two years ago I was raising a young bull that showed some promise. A very short man was helping me one day and I asked him to shut the gate when I saw the bull and some heifers coming to see what we were doing. The man was inexperienced and when he saw the bull he ran. Big mistake. Bull chased him and he just did get to the gate. From that day on, the bull thought humans were something to chase. To break him of that, I walked out in the field with a good length of pipe and let him "attack" me. When he got in range I clubbed him and quickly moved opposite the direction of my swing. A week later I did it again. From that day on he understood who the alpha male was. (Standing my ground to a charging bull is definitely on list of life's scariest events) [/QUOTE]
