    Heifer Head Butting

    My sons heifer decided about a week ago that she was going to start head butting us.  She is almost a year old now.  She used to kind of rub on you a little but now it is harder and more often.  I think she is trying to play, and am not sure how to stop it.  Any suggestions would be great Thanks
