[QUOTE="kensfarm, post: 55515, member: 542"] I guess I'm a pet owner.. I can put some of my steers in a headlock(I grab their head w/ my arms, hold them, and even force open an eyelid to treat for pinkeye. These are 1 year old Holstein Steers I'm guessing are around 1000-1200lbs. I do have one 6 month old bull.. he's grown faster and tries to be more dominent.. even w/ the older, bigger steers. That being said.. I def. respect the experience of those that live this life.. and will be even more respectful & careful around them. I believe this respect to be parrallel w/ tractor's & equipment.. when you're working w/ it.. knowing that it can kill you in an instant.. if you make a mistake.. or don't pay attention.. will save your life. I believe bringing this to people's attention.. especially beginners.. will help save some from injury or worse. It's not that big animals can't be tamed or trained.. it's the one act of dis-obediance that will kill you. The experienced are saying.. why take that risk.. if your not in the circus business. I guess my goal was to have a "calmer" herd.. that could be handled easier.. I def. won't forget the "respect" they deserve. Thanks guys!! [/QUOTE]
