Actually, cattle have a "flght zone" and will tend to move away from whatever it is that they are trying to get away from in a predictable direction.
A person who REALLY understands cattle can 9 times out of 10 make them go where he(or she) wants from behind. Usually at a slow pace if desired as well.

We calve out 800-1000 head every spring, and for one man by himself in the middle of the night during a snowstorm to get an old cow to leave the herd and shelter of a tree grove to go a half mile or more into the barn to pull a calf, takes a very good understanding of cattle, but it's done on a nightly basis.
Lead an old range cow who's on the fight with a bucket of grain?? Heh heh...don't think so!
