[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1740542, member: 14585"] Defensive posturing, behavior sounds similar as if a dog was approaching. Triggering her fight or flight response, she's assessing the situation. The good news is she isn't high headed and sounds like she mellows out and becomes curious after quickly realizing there's no danger present. As TC said, do be careful when she calves, as she may become overly protective of her calf for several days and view anyone as an approaching danger. At that time her hormones will often interfere with her ability to mellow out. Allow her and the calf an escape route. Don't corner them, so that she doesn't instinctively feel that standing her ground and fighting is her only option. p.s. Welcome to cattle forum. :) [/QUOTE]
