[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7865598, member: 718"] Cows are big animals and can cause injury even when playing around. Dairy cattle and replacements can be overly friendly and friendly, which can bring its own problems, especially out in a field in the dark with them. No need to be afraid of them but never underestimate the danger of dealing with big mischievous animals. Sucklers and beef steers, especially of certain breeds, can have volatile temperaments and it is best to treat them with great respect and to keep your distance. Never go unaccompanied among them unless you are very familiar and know their ways. Always treat an animal with a calf as a potential lethal weapon until proven otherwise and always have a practical easy escape route and plan. In a shed, always be aware that they could easily be spooked and stampede in your direction, so you should always be prepared to jump out of their way into a cubicle or somewhere, or ideally not be put in a position where you could be trampled or squished. Never allow yourself or your partner to become complacent or lazy to the point of putting either of you in a more potentially dangerous position. It is NEVER necessary and there are always relatively safe ways of handling cattle. [/QUOTE]
