- You idiot, you will start a stampede. You might have a chance in front
- of one animal, but in front of stampede you could just end up dead!
-
- Some basic rules always make some noise when around cattle. Nothing
- scares or upsets them more than someone sneaking around.
-
- Don't let calves push you around. They have long memories and
- won't take you on if they remember the time you through him on his back
- and held him there.
-
- Avoid crowed pens of cattle resently moved into a new environment.
-
- Feed them don't beet them. This works if they are your cattle.
- Surprising this works for even the meanest breads.
-
- Basic defence usually only requries a thick stick, cattle prod, some
- rocks and some really angry noise as they approach you.

- P.S. I stood in front of more than once stampede once, they told me I
- was rounding them up. :-) The cattle just ran arround me. I used the
- Basic defence. I have however been gored and crush against a wall.
-
- I agree with everyone else if you do have a crazed animal, it is him or
- you and about that simple.
