[QUOTE="Joy in Texas, post: 435956, member: 4627"] I think it depends on what type of cattle you have. Some breeds are more aggressive than others. It also depends on where and how you raise them. If,they are raised out in west Texas on a big ranch. The sight of humans are little to none. Until round up day.Then it is a rodeo. Yes, these animals are going to go crazy. We have a few hundred acres of land. I know every cow ,calf and bull on every piece of property. I have a ledger,I keep up with everything these animals do.From the time they are born until they are wean and sold or kept.Whatever it is I know. I do not believe totally that you yourself make all bad calves mean. SOME ARE BORN THAT WAY. Take the 16 sale barn calves I bought last month. I knew nothing about them ,except they went thru heck ,before coming here. They would run slamming into the side of the pens. They had 2 days of peace and quite. The following days, I moved them from pen to pen,made a few passes in put together shute. Load and unload in a trailor. Why, because it shows them their is nothing to be afraid of. I have an old trailor that they will play in now. Hubby ,took the first 8 last saturday for shots and a few had to be dehorned. I don't go to the vet with him. Out of the 8,one limo developed an attitude. So she stay behind and the rest went to their new home. I go out there 3 times a day to check on them. They all come up to me looking for their "cookies". I will walk into the pens and out the shute. All 7 will follow me with no problem. No, all of our cows are pets. They are calm...big difference. When,we work the older cows. I have my piece of pvc pipe and the hubby has his hot shot and whip. Not that we use them ,it's in case we do. [/QUOTE]
