Like some of you said it is in the way you go about the deal of working cattle. Ours get looked at every 7-14 days on grass and of course fed and checked 2-3 times
daily during calving. We can use horse or 4 wheeler or pickup and they really don't care. The 1st calf heifers get walked thru some and are use to spot lite and barely move. We have gotten cows that were a bit on the rangey side and calmed them down by feeding cake from the 4 wheeler or pickup a couple times a week. Of course there will always be a few that are going to be on guard. But the calmer you stay - the calmer the cattle will stay.
