[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1821572, member: 42463"] When I was a kid I used to raise a few bummer lambs on the bottle. I learned that they would butt my hand if I held it up toward their head and I'd do it for fun. One day a family visited after church, and my parents took them up to the stable to show them around. The little girl, maybe five, was standing in a beautiful white dress close to the fence and looking out over the pasture... and I saw one of the lambs coming up behind her. I could tell from his body language that he was going to butt her. I shouted and the adults heard me, but they were too far away to understand what I was saying. The little girl ended up in the manure. She was fine but she took a good hit by surprise and the parents were not happy. I quit tempting the lambs to butt my hand after that and they never did it on their own. You don't want to teach any large animal to be playful. [/QUOTE]
