[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 275417, member: 539"] No, they're not and that mindset will likely get you hurt! It might appear to be that way, but I would venture to guess that that is only because people tend to underestimate heifers because of their size and immaturity, whereas bulls are usually handled with the utmost care - even as yearlings. Heifers do tend to be a little more volatile, though, simply because of their age and lack of 'experience' (for want of a better word) with a lot of the usual aspects of handling. Because of that they tend to require a calmer, slower method of working until they 'learn the ropes', so to speak. I tend to think of heifers as teenagers (no offense intended to any teenage members), and that helps me to remember that they need to be handled differently than the cows, which are handled differently than the bulls.
