[QUOTE="Cowboymom, post: 285609, member: 2278"] Bulls will rub or dig anywhere. I don't really know how to stop them or if it is possible. I notice that if they have trees or posts in the pastures, they rub more than dig. Think it has something to do with insects. We the flies off of them and they don't dig much. I know that some areas that isn't possible. We live on the San Andreas Fault. One time one of the geologists asked if he could put a cement box next to the fence in our herd bull field. We told him sure but the bulls will rub on it. He didn't think they could move it because it was heavy. Because they were putting thousands of dollars worth of equipment in it, they put it up empty first. The bulls lined up and rubbed on it all day long. Much to their surprise, the bulls moved it about twenty feet before they came back. They built a wood fence around it and the bulls loved to rub on the corner posts. I don't know how many bushes and trees we have had uprooted in our yard from a herd bull getting out and going for a walkabout. I think bulls just have a big case of the "itchies"! I would hate to put wire mesh in there and get them tangled up in that. [/QUOTE]
