[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 523746, member: 1744"] From what I read that bull may never be "tamed". Was he wild when you bought him or did he turn bad when he came out of the trailer. Our Lim bull was broke to lead when we bought him as a yearling a year ago and is the most gentle animal on the place. Limousin has a dostility EPD for a reason...though the wild ones have been culled by the better breeders over the years. You may need to set up a open pen with panels and set out feed to get him used to feeding there, then close him in when he doesn't expect it. Had a cow on pasture last summer that was a hard catch but is a sucker for good alfalfa and cracked corn. Set up the trailer with panels as a modified alley way and fed her there for a couple of days. Closed the gate on her and she was off to the farm. Do a search on halter breaking and see if anything fits your situation. Just my two bits worth...asked for or not...Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
