Two Australian Cattle Dogs redirect a charging Hereford cow across a steep hillside by balancing physical pressure with rapid lateral movement.
Low center of gravity allows the canines to slide beneath the bovine’s head during a strike attempt, neutralizing the cow’s 1,200 pound mass. This territorial interaction demonstrates the herd hierarchy where the dogs use high frequency barking and calculated lunging to maintain livestock movement. The cattle’s defensive charge illustrates the instinctual conflict between prey species and predatory herding breeds during high stakes farm transitions.

That’s awesome 👏
That's 1000's of years of instinct on display dam dog is literally born for the job. Beautiful dogs 😊
The cow probably wouldn't feel the need to attack the dogs if she didn't experience the dogs biting the shit out of her all the time. Herding dogs that bite make for nervous cattle who are more prone to attack like this.
The dogs are used to the challenge and they will win every time
Beautiful intelligent dogs, but why do they have to bite their faces? Vicious.
❤❤ Wow, and that's how it's done! Gosh, your dogs, wow❤ great dogs
Wow! I hope they’re treating them well! They deserve T-Bone steaks for their invaluable work. I’m in complete awe for these gifts that not all ranchers can appreciate with great rewards.
Those are some very talented and brave dogs🎉🎉🎉
they're kelpies yes?
Big difference between biting and letting you feel my teeth. how do momma dogs teach their young.. Grab them by the face with her teeth and correct them and them give them a quick lick to let them know.
Dumb cows
Those cows should turn on the ranchers 😂
My grandpa trained our dogs with that exact sound
Brought back memories, good ones
One mistake and the dog is crippled or worse
Dogs are like ya ya just keep it moving
Dogs are a gift to mankind. There are many jobs that only dogs can do and it’s often dangerous and they’ve saved countless life.
Sometimes the way we used to do it wasn't always right

❤❤❤perfection herding❤❤❤
Play duck the bulldozer and her biting its face before it gets turned around
Who would’ve thought that moving the cast of the view to a new room would be so daunting.
DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO….ok ok 😂🎉🎉 FAF
We had bull one time growing up and Everytime we would catch up the herd in that field for parasite treatment, Tagging or cutting horns he was always the last one in the catch pen then one year he had just gotten too big and would casually jump the fence and walk off as a couple more years passed he started being aggressive he flung my dad about 30 feet in the air one time then tried to grind him up like corn meal into the ground luckily my dad was able to stay between his horns he had broken bones and was down (down as in he wasn't able to do some things with pins in his arm) for almost a year we tried a few more times to get him in trailer with no success by this time the bull understood his strength and no fence or man would make him submit. My dad got the number of an old cowboy from another rancher and this dude showed up in his 70s with his Horse and 2 blue heelers after a couple hours of these 2 dogs literally hanging from the ears of this bull and being flung several yards with a simple head shake these dogs were relentless and eventually wore him down enough for the old man to get a rope on him and quickly get the other end around a big pine tree got all the slack out a little at a time until the bulls head was touching the tree Then backed the cow trailer up to the bull gates open and sandwiched him between the tree and trailer forcing him to step in gradually giving enough slack to get him further in and while being distracted 2 of us quickly shut the trailer gates and chained them up. The trailer was solid bars and he was bending them he shook that entire truck and trailer like the hulk but we finally got him gone he was sold to the Rodeo and we never seen him again…The biggest meanest limousine bull I've ever seen in my life
Dodge, nip. Dance, dodge… and a lot of, "Hah! Ya MISSED me"! Funniest part is that these kooky canines wouldn't trade their jobs for all the Kibble in Kansas. ❤☠️❤
Why so primitive theres not a better way so the bull and dogs arnt in danger sound cant make them move use a starter pistol fire in the air that will get them moving
Cows like… abort the feint didn’t work
