We had a red holstein bull when I was in jr high- you'd back the trailer up to the gate, drop the door, say "get in Roger", and on he'd walk.
We only had one bull hurt anyone that I can remember, and she deserved it. He stood about 6 foot at the shoulder and she'd step under the neck rail (all 5-3 and 120 pounds of her) at the feed alley and swat him on the head til he went where she wanted him to go. One day his head was down. When he lifted his head he pinned her against the post and cracked 3 ribs.
Out here I'd much rather deal with the bulls than the cows. The bulls get fed 8-9 months a year so they are pretty tame. The cows can be a while 'nother story, especially the ones with the solay blood.
Big thing with cattle is it does you no good to try to work them faster than their own pace. Once you get them worked up they stay worked up. There's usually one guy who the minute he steps in the pen, things go to pot on you.
When we weaned calves last fall we had enough help that he didn't get in with the calves, and amazingly, only one tried kicking us, and it missed.
