greybeard, please don't call Hillary an Arkansan. She was born in Chicago, I think.

I would probably sell as well, but a bull can be broke from this. Put a ring in the nose and about 5 to 6 feet of chain on the ring. Worked for us on a young bull. From the sound of things this might be hard for you to do. Our bull eventually lost the chain but never jumped another fence.

I don't think it is pure gyr either. If I remember, most gyr horns turn back or down.

By day I'm an insurance agent. You can add farm liability to your homeowners insurance by endorsement 2 ways. Incidental farm liability if you have a farm exposure on the premises which you live. Comprehensive farm liability if extensive farm exposure and away from the premises which you...

A hot iron will work. Much larger than an inch would be difficult. To maximise your success, put the hot iron on the horn. Mash hard, turn back & forth, and get a good dark burnt ring on the skull around the base of the horn. Then knock the horn bud off with the heal of your hand. Might be...

Watched the video, and it was informative. Everyone should see it.

If everybody would take care of there problem animals or correct property lines(ie fencing) these situations would not happen. My family will not tolerate one of our bulls roaming. Neighbors have not always shared the idea. We bought, some years back, a 15 month old Charolais bull. He...

We tag most of our cows, but do name the standouts. I bought one of my first cows, and she was really an ugly cow black and white. You couldn't tell if she was a long horn or holstein cross but she milked good and calved like clock work. She had one horn off and one that stuck out about 6 or...

Old timers use to cover cavities with a substance called pine tar. It can still be purchased at most coops. My Brahman cattle get surgical dehorning which cost $55 a head. Vet cuts around the base of the horn, kind of an eye shape. He then takes a barnes dehorner and cuts the horn off and...
