As long as it stays in place, you, your kids, friends and neighbors can
stop worrying.  I'm talking about a six or eight inch wide, up to
sixteen inches long (for a bull), piece of 3/4' plywood hanging over the
animal's eyes.

If the animal has horns, hang it from the horns with flexible cable and
clamps.  No horns, fit a halter and hang it from a band across the
forehead just below where the horns would be.

Your obstreperous or dangerous animal becomes suddenly tractable if it
cannot see ahead.  The board does not interfere with side vision,
grazing or breeding, but no fighting will take place and no attacks on
people.
