[QUOTE="cowpunk'd, post: 1036738, member: 1265"] It can come in very handy to have a cow that is approachable and lets you pretty close in the pasture. I had to borrow a little bull last year, he was small but had an unpleasant attitude towards me. I was checking them on foot and he started to stroll with intent in my direction. Not a good feeling. My tame cow was handy so I stepped behind her, she was between me and the bull. When he couldn't see me so good he lost interest. Also if your lead cow is tame and respectful of you it does help if you need to move the group out of a tight spot, because if you push on her she can push everyone else out for you. If you try pushing on a tame heifer though you will get in trouble because she can't push anyone else out so she will bounce back right on top of you. [/QUOTE]
