Just my two cents - I've had "Bud", a registered black Angus, since he was 8 months old. I raised him as a pet, and have always maintained the proper respect for a bull. Bud is now 4 years old and still likes to be petted from time to time. The only difference now - I make sure one of us has a gate or a sturdy corrall fence between the other. Your bull may mean you no harm, but they can play rough! Be calm, be aware and be SAFE.
