Has anyone else got a bull with a wierd tendency? Our herd bull likes to come into the corral when he sees me show up near it. I have a big fly swatter that I use to whack horse flys off of him whilst he is standing there. He really enjoys letting me smack horse flys. The big swatter is red with a white plastic handle. I also have a blue one. I have noticed that if I bring the blue one out he will not let me hit flys. I switch to the red and he jogs on over for a fly whackin session. The red one interests him so much that he wants to smell it and lick it before he lets my smack any flys. He acts leery of the blue one. Both swatters are kept in the barn on the same hook. They are identical in size, shape and type. I am not sure why he likes the red over the blue. I have a couple of cows that like to be de-horse flied with the swatter but they do not care which swatter I use or even if I use a ball bat or 2x4.
