[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 3131602, member: 3656"] If you are trying to turn a cow around in a small space, you may notice they more often than not turn to the left. I was told at college the thought was they were protecting the unborn calf. So, for example, being chased by a predator and as a last resort turning to face down the threat will turn left so as to keep the right loin away from it. I have a drafting pen at my robot exits where I often touch the right loin to check calf against service date. And the beggars will circle anticlockwise around the pen all day long as if to keep me off their right side. Mighty frustrating. [/QUOTE]
