[QUOTE="kernowcluck, post: 1509584, member: 13928"] No need to shout, you'll wind them up . Dairy cattle usually respond to quiet handling. Always keep yourself safe, don't put yourself in a corner or stuck against a wall. Don't go into a bull pen alone and watch your hands if you're putting them through a crush. Put yourself in the cow's position and think like her, then you will have some idea of what she is going to do next. Don't forget they're not thought readers, make it clear what you want them to do and don't hassle them. You'll get the job done much quicker and safer if you're calm. Thank your lucky stars you're not working a herd of psycho Limos, most dairy cows are a joy to work WITH. [/QUOTE]
