I'm a first time cattle owner and have a few questions with the behavior of one of my steers and some on halter training.
So my 500Ibs. steer Maverick is starting to head toss when I stretch out my arm towards his head, or when he comes close to me he will head toss and I'm not sure if he is nervous or aggressive.
My other steer Shadow is a nice calm steer and I would like to halter train him and show him at the fair for a 4-h project. I can come up to him when he is eating and pet/brush him and he seams somewhat interested in me, but because Maverick is so tense when i'm around Shadow also get skiddish then and I cant sperate them because of how are cattle pen is set up.
So If someone can answer some questions I would be so grateful.
