[QUOTE="tncattle, post: 485534, member: 5701"] Please don't take this the wrong way cause I'm basically still a beginner also. But those cows are not pets, they are food. If you pet them and get to trusting of them you'll get hurt. I've been volunteering for almost a yr. now helping a family friend that has around 200 Angus. The man has been raising cattle 40 years and he never pets them. But he always lets them know who is in charge and has an escape plan just in case. An example: We were deworming and giving some shots last summer. I was getting 3 big cows going toward the head shute and the one I was behind was 14 yrs. old and had been with this man her entire life. Never had a second of trouble out of her ever. I gave her a pat on the rear to get her going and she kicked straight back! It was so incredibly quick and powerful, it barely missed my thigh and would have most likely broke my leg easily. I know it's said cows don't kick back but out to the side but I'm here to tell you they can kick backwards if they want to and hard as crap! Be careful! [/QUOTE]
