I seen a guy run a bull on a 4wheeler till the bull got to tired to fight being loaded.
I've seen a bull turn over a pickup truck.
I sure would not take one on riding a four wheeler.
NO joke.... :shock:
this was back in the 50's when I was a kid and pick up trucks were not what they are today....old half ton with running boards and the bull was a big un and plenty mad....
he hit it low on the drivers door and turned it on its side.
I didn't see the rest as my dad got me safely out of there and then went back and helped the guy deal with the bull....I don't recall everything but they did not kill him that day.
I think I have related that when I was another mans cowboy we had two bulls get to fighting and one was well over a ton...meybe 2200 lbs and the other was younger and meybe 1600 lb.
there were four or five of us trying to break em up cause both had some real value...they were together because of a miscommunication in yelling to one another.
Big bull got the smaller bull turned and got his head under his heart girth and threw him into the air .....1600 lb bull and we were all looking up at him in the air. He came down on his side and the ground shook and the big bull jumped on him again but we were able to drive him off that time...I drove the big bull around to the needed pen and was amazed when I came back to see the young bull up and walking around growling for another round....
people genuinely do not understand the power that exists in those animals....
I had an older neighbor who had a pet bull....I cautioned him repeatedly that bulls were not good pets....then one day the bull decided it would be fun to push his tractor....actually the bull wanted him to stop and feed him...it was an older Massey Ferguson 2 wheel drive tractor I am guessing about 35 -40 hp. The bull stopped it and pushed it backward with the rear wheels spinning. He sold his pet bull a short while later.
I have a steer that I am raising for beef with some yearling heifers, 942 lbs when I weighed them yesterday....The steer is the quietest critter in a quiet group....he wants to be a pet, not mean, no kick, chow hound....but just yesterday he wanted to rub his head on me and nearly pushed me through a gate...fortunately it was not fastened and I had room to turn and kick him in the nose.
