[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17514"] I see no need to get rid of him just because of what you describe below. Is the behavior you describe at feeding time? If so, it is a little more understandable to me. I would just keep a close eye out when working around him, as with any livestock. I have been feeding some Longhorns for the ranch I work for and there are several of them that are 'in your face' when you pull out the feed bag. When they know it's feeding time, they'll run beside my truck when I pull into the pasture, bucking and kicking. A couple of times they have smacked my front grill guard pretty hard. When I get out the feed bag, they start milling around and pushing each other (and me if I'm not careful), trying to get to the first pile of cubes. There's been a few times I've had to knock them up side the head to get them to stand back until I get all the feed out. This time of year, even my horse will give a few crow hops and run a few circles when it's time for her evening grain ration. ******************* > I have a black angus bull 16 > months old that sometimes when you > get in front of him he starts > bobbing his head up and down.
