[QUOTE="CattleHand, post: 815972, member: 6534"] Had a similar story with my grandpa once. A guy down the road sold most of his cows but could never catch a bull calf that just grew into one wild as hell/killer bull. He still had a few cattle in the pasture so the guy called my grandpa and me and him went down and brought all the cattle up at once and were able to catch the bull in a strong, strong corral when he came up with the other cattle to eat. The bull was still nuts though and was definitely dangerous as hell even with the other cattle around, tore into everything and it was only cause my grandpa is well skilled with cattle we got him in. So you got three options (last one I don't see working if the bull is as crazy as you describe): 1. Do like this guy did and have some one very talented with cattle come and catch him (be it dogs, tranq, or just better working cattle than you are). 2. Shoot him like you suggest 3. Put your cows in with them and withhold water except in the portable corral you have an hope that works. All depends on your comfortability with working cattle and resources. Scroll down the thread. Someone already has a very similar post to this and those are the options everyone gave. Some give more detail on people to consider contacting.
