In Australia which a dog herds cattle by biting the back of their feet?

not sure of what the question you are trying to ask. however cattle dogs are working dogs and they usually nip the heels (hence the name blue/red heeler) of cattle to make them move. on the other had a good dog will not bite the cattle there is a difference, he should just nip them on the heel, or hock as its is called on cattle, and not bite which may cause damage meaning he shouldn't make the beast. if he bites the animal and causes lacerations on them they can get infected and it also looks bad when trying to sell them. just one more point most good dogs can make cattle move without having to nip, nipping should be a last option for them. the presence of the dog and his lunges and barks should make them move.
