I loaded two liners full of feeder bulls yesterday, they averaged over 2000lbs. Had one try to push me and my horse up the loading ramp, after he insisted on starting a fight I had to play chicken to lure him to where he had to go, he stuck his head under my horses belly and lifted us up and pinned us against a wall, luckily the mare kept her feet under her and scrambled over top of him and up the ramp he went from under us.
Most aren't that tough and are just bluffing you, till they aren't... If they are real mean the options are play chicken, hope your dogs are gritty enough to sort it out or rope a front foot and ride like hell. I once had to gather a stray and some Mennonite fella on a quad thought the bull wasn't heading home fast enough so he decided to ram it in the ass with the quad, when that bull turned around I got to watch one of the more entertaining games of ring around the rosy I've seen, in the end the quad got rolled and broke some fenders and I had to lure the bull away. He wound up in a steep ditch about a mile away in the wrong direction, he got out by a neighbor throwing beer cans at him antagonizing him to where he scrambled up the side to try to get buddy, once we got him in one of the neighbors alleys they had to physically push him onto the trailer with a square bale on the front of a loader. Moral of the story, go slow and don't start a fight.
