I don't do a lot of beef cows, so not an expert but - pretty much any bull I'd just stay clear of and not try to fight him too much. Bulls are bulls, and even if you could somehow train him not to kick, you can't trust a bull. Treat him like you would a loaded gun.
I've seen guys try and beat it out of the animal, to each his own, but that's just not my way. In my opinion, just stay away from him. If you need to be up close and personal with him, get him into a rack.
Heifers I always come in as much from the side as I can and tap them on the butt (from a good distance) and talk to them, let them know you're coming. 99.9% of kicking is from surprising them, and it's fairly easy to surprise them.
And what gets most people is that they can swing their legs out pretty far to the side to get you.
