[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 556282, member: 2308"] Well, we don't mess with cattle like that. Just too risky. This guy was giving us warning signs that he was going to become a problem this spring. He was still backing down, but you knew that sooner than later he was going to become unmanageable. We had hoped to make the breeding season with him, but with 2 weeks to go he is off to town. He will be hamburger for someone shortly..... We have enough experience to know how far to push, and know how to read the body language. Plus, the horse I was on knows cattle, he has the sense of when to push, and when to back off, and the speed and agility to pull it off. In this business you have to have a horse you can trust, and you have to trust that horse too. Doesn't mean that things can't happen, just that you can do things more safely. It is really hard to send a $3000 bull down the road after only 3 seasons, but we have had bulls that have gone down the road after only 1 season. But, I hate having to watch my back even part of the time. You have to be alert at all times, but there really is no need to have to watch your back. Those kind of cattle belong in only 1 place.....
