Well said.darcelina4 said:Look up Temple Grandin cattle handling videos. Like others have said, dont get aggressive with already scared animals or you will regret it. I've seen great handlers at the salebarn that make it look so easy. They are never in a hurry and act like a leader so the cattle aren't scared further but feeding off the emotions of the handler. I've seen fools that should never be around any animals beating and being just plain cruel to cows. We should all be offended by those people. They make cattle more dangerous to the people who get them after. The handlers job is to move the cattle, not torture them.
Be cautious and vigilant. Be calm but ready to move fast if you need to.
Don't let yourself get afraid of them. They will pick it up.
If you get a little scared of them, take a breath and exhale and re-group yourself.
After you have worked with cattle awhile you will learn to sense the flow the (Force) and work with it.
