Need a litle more info here about whats happening. Particularly why you have to get that close to her. Is it a show calf you are trying to break to lead? Otherwise just stay out of range unless you have to treat her for illness or injury. In that case, I'd suggest applying a lot of restraints to her. Squeeze chute works best but it can be done with rope if necessary.
Its far easier to change what we do than change what an animal does. Not saying it cant be done but its a LOT easier. Best way to prevent injury is to get close, touching close. The closer you are the less force behind the kick. I know it defies human nature but it works. If you have to handle her that much then stay real close.
