During a beef show, what is a sign of an unruly animal?

An unruly animal in a beef show often demonstrates behaviors that indicate discomfort, resistance, or a lack of compliance with the handler's guidance. When an animal is pulling away from the handler, it is expressing a desire to escape or disrupt the control the handler is attempting to maintain. This behavior shows a lack of a cooperative connection between the animal and the handler, which can be problematic in a show setting.

In contrast, calm demeanor, crouching down, and standing still are generally signs of a more well-behaved animal. A calm demeanor suggests that the animal is relaxed and comfortable, crouching down may indicate a submissive or cautious posture typical of animals that feel safe, and standing still demonstrates a cooperative spirit. Therefore, pulling away from the handler clearly signifies unruliness and a potential challenge in managing the animal during the show.
