[QUOTE="Alice, post: 517708, member: 3873"] For now he is a pet...and there's no problem with that...at least not right now. I think if you intend to keep him around as a pet/pasture pet, you should have him banded right away. Grown holstein bulls can be some of the most dangerous. But, for right now he is a baby and you are caring for him as you would a baby...and that's good. Approaching his care in the way you are will make it easier for you to spot any difficulty he might have be it illness, pinkeye, lameness, etc. You'll be able to notice if he looks a little off...or if he's got a little rattle in his throat, or his eyes look "not quite right." Good on you! Just remember, when these babies grow up, they can hurt ya' whether they mean to or not. OK, I'll quit fretting. You enjoy that baby! :) Alice [/QUOTE]
