[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 805855, member: 6655"] I'm not exactly a beginner, but I am new to having a registered brahma bull on the place. In spite of being supersized (compared to the angus cows), he seems very calm and peaceful. When I put out hay and such, he just stands about 5 feet away and stares at me with a curious look on his face, usually chewing very slowly. If I try to shoo him away, he just stands about 5 feet away and stares at me with a curious look on his face, usually chewing very slowly. He's been here about 9 months now, and this is about all the interaction I've had with him so far. What I'm wondering is this. Are there any signs or signals I should be looking for that would be a good indicator of his disposition and/or what he's got on his mind? Like how does a bull usually act right before he tries to kill you? I've always used angus bulls in the past and never gave this too much thought, because they were sort of a known quantity and had been handled quite a bit before I got them. But, I don't know very much about ol' Bubba's early years, except for the fact that he had not been handled very much. He's right at 4 years old now. Maybe some of the oldtimers on here have seen things to watch for in this situation?? [/QUOTE]
