[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 238417, member: 9"] As others have said, they know EXACTLY where the tips of their horns are. They are very agile in working their way through tight spaces as well as through and around people. They "take their time" and think first, then move. They do not panic unless a human pushes them too hard and/or tries to use a hotshot on them. Some of ours are so calm my wife has literally had to push on their butt to get them moving. You can easily walk among them and close to them without them hitting the panic button. They will observe, think, and then act or not act. They develop trust easily. They learn their "pasture names" easily and when you call that name they will often turn their head and look at you to see what you want. Of course, a lot of their behavior has to do with the way they are treated (by humans) and are handled. Yes, if you leave one out in a 1,000 acre pasture all their life with little human contact...yes, they will probably be a touch "wild." But, what else is new when dealing with animals??? ;-) [/QUOTE]
