Biting a cow in a settled bay is a genetic fault that is not easily fixed. Are they circling hard and just hitting anything they can reach as they go by or are they sitting still focusing on a single cow?

How many head are you working and what are they?

You might try using one dog at a time and see if that loosens them up. Or you could add more cattle and or tougher horned cattle. But at that age not respecting the bay is bad news.

If you want to shoot some video and send it to me I will tell you what I think about how to help them work a little better.
