Chainsaws will cut your head off. Hammers will hit your thumb. Ropes will hang you. Cars will wreck and kill you. PTO's will rip your arm off.....Bulls are just bulls. Lots of bulls get this bad. Set up the situation where he cant' hurt you. If you don't know when they are about to hurt you, learn or get out of the business. He doesn't sound like a headhunter to me but you might make him into one if you keep fooling with him.
BTW I'd rather have a ill bull on the farm than a kids poney....safer.
Ollie you are right!
Its all about safety this is a very dangerous business from tractors to cows and most of the time you work alone one careless slip up and you are on the last ride.
You don't get to be old in this business doing stupid things and cutting corners. There is no Safety Man like at a work site making you adhere to OSHA rules and regulations and wear PPE.
Having working pens where you always work the cattle from behind a gate to having the proper head gates squeeze chutes etc. these are all safety equipment, just like the guards on the chain saw. To taking any cow for granted will get you hurt.
I have put myself in some stupid situations when I was younger and was dang lucky ,not any more old bones don't heal like young ones.
