handler, attempts to help up a fallen steer by  pulling the animals head so that it can get up on its front legs  then, presumably, on to its hind legs. No bovine will normally get  up like this, and its easier for it, firstly, to raise itself up on  its hind legs by lunging forward, then put its front legs under it  to stand up. To help this animal get up, you must lift its rear end  by grabbing either the tail root or its backside.
