[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15368"] And, a trick I didn't learn for awhile is not to stare or look directly at the cattle when you are moving them. They are prey animals and you become the predator when you stare at them. Just watch them out of the corner of your eye and even go so far as to stand quietly with your body turned mostly away from them. This helps to keep them from going on "alert" and they are calmer. Otherwise, I agree with everyone's assessment of the feed trick. Let them get a bit hungry and take the time to patiently train them to come to feed, and you'll save time and wear and tear on your body in the long run. [/QUOTE]
