I remember one video of a guy following a darned big horse in a parade, the moron clapped his hands above his head, then slapped both sides of the horses arse.. horse gave him both barrels square in the chest... I'm quite certain he never did that again!
Last spring I delivered my friend's 5 year old longhorn bull to the sale barn, along with a couple calves.. He was pretty laid back (he still had his buddies), and in the pen beside them there were 2 smallish angus cows... I could see they meant business though... I couldn't believe people were avoiding the calm bull and getting in the pen with the cow that was out to take some names.. One guy was SO close to getting mashed, he must have felt her steaming up his butt... he was a lucky man that day and I don't know if he even noticed... And these are people I'd assume (dangerous I know) have at least some experience with cattle. I'll go into a pen with a calm bull any day before I go into a pen with a cow that's pawing the ground and shaking her head, though I do try and stay away from any animals I don't know.
5 years ago I sent a VERY mad SH bull to that same barn.. every handler I've spoken to who was around when he got off the trailer remembers him.. That's saying something for people who've probably seen 100,000 head pass through there since!... He was no small boy either at about 2500 lbs
