[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 376834, member: 3739"] Finally got an appointment to get those three bulls done this afternoon. Our vet had built a new working pen system in the back, made of solid iron, and a lot better and more efficient than the old wood ones he had before, and they sure came in handy for those three. The first animal, the brockle-face one, went in okay, no problems from him but the second one, the herfy cross, he went plumb wild, first because he went with the first bull into the clinic (we were trying to bring them in one at a time), and the vet put him in a pen behind the squeeze that the first bull was in, and I think the smell of blood was doing it that herf. Put the first into a separate pen, and the herfy bull, bawling and blowing and snorting, sure went into the headgate in an awful big hurry. Dad, he had the job of holding the tail up to stretch the hamstrings so's the vet wouldn't get nailed, and that herf nailed Dad in the knee (no, I think it was just below, I was busy with the other animals I didn't notice), but he's okay. And last, but certaintly NOT the least, the Limo bull. (I thought he was red angus X but after reading a bit on here I learned otherwise). He was a bit of a pain in the behind to get into the clinic, obviously because he didn't like the blood smell and going into a darker area. But I got him in after giving a good swat on the rump with my sorting whip. So, anywho, they're done, so now I'm just going to wait for a couple weeks before taking pics of them, to see how they're doing. [/QUOTE]
