[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1381483, member: 13050"] Would put it mainly down to testosterone. If you compare an intact animal with one that has had testicles removed you will notice that they don't exhibit the same behavior. The removal of testicles causes a reduction of testosterone production. A bull will continually be aware of cows coming into estrus and will display dominance and aggression towards any threats, the older they get the more territorial they become too...these action are primarily driven by hormones. It would seem that your bull is just being a bull...there is a very slight chance that it could be something like a brain tumour, which I doubt. [/QUOTE]
