[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 68308, member: 220"] Just my two cents here but sounds like he's a little overprotective of his idea of personal space. Might try getting him used to being "touched" by using a long (longer than the distance he can reach out and tag you) cane, buggy whip or what-have-you to rub him with. Once he'll stand calmly and accept being rubbed with that then I'd chance rubbing him with your hand. Not before then or you'll just end up with more war wounds. Sort of de-sensitizing technique like we use on colts, except the priniciple is being applied to bovine instead of equine animals. Sounds goofy but better than getting booted. Take care. [/QUOTE]
