My Bull may be an exception.When I work my cattle,I usually run the Bull through first,to get him out of the way.He does not just go out in the pasture and hide,he stays around and pays attention to what is going on with the herd.He does not get aggressive with me,but he does show concern with what is happening with the cows.He only goes off into the sunset when the cows are all done. The best predator protection you can get for my money is a guardian dog.
