Sounds like you got took.
What are your goals for the bull if he can he can be helped? If he is a big guy, the chances are he will always be lame and sore, and will have further problems if you allow him to try to breed a cow.
What sort of quality of life to you want for the bull?

Why do people ask for advice and then when they don't get the answer they want just do what they were going to do originally?

Hello. How do suppose the fellow " crippled" the Bull? Is it anybody's fault if the bull is not sound and injures himself breeding?

Here is a quote from her original post, I think his story stinks to high heaven;
The gentleman who bought the bull will not tell me what happen. He states he started limping when he unloaded him the 1st time but did not contact me until 45 days later. He was a sound bull for breeding but not show quality.
Maybe he just stepped in a HOLE. Does that make it her fault. Since we don't have a clue how he was injured how do you suppose he DISLOCATED a hip. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how that condition could be congenital and not show at all until he walked off the trailer at the new owners house. If you were the buyer wouldn't you call her immediately and tell her that the bull was limping and at the very least have it on the table that he might not be sound.
Sounds a lot like :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: to me!
What I think happened is that this fella saw a chance to stick it to her since she was a newbie and wanted everyone to be happy. Then she woke up and figured out that she just got sc--wed. At least she knows it now. What we don't know is how many cows he was to breed and if he was the only bull or not. That could sure influence things a bit.

I have seen more than one bull get messed up by the other bull while breeding a cow or two on one in a bull fight.
Odds are he will never be anything but hamburger as he is not going to get lighter.
As said she got mad when she learn some cold hard facts. If I unlaoded that bull sound the only way you would get a refund is he was shooting blanks. You load one sound here he is your bull when he gets on the trailer.

I agree; it's my fault the guarantee wasn't in writing; I guaranteed the gentleman a good bull for breeding a pasture full of new heifers for the first go around. Had no idea that a freak accident or owner's neglect would come back on me. This was my first time of selling and he has been in the business for 40yrs or so he says.

My vet is still working with me -- I am not pumping him full of medications but I am trying so alternatives to see if it will help him -- we are considering sedating him, putting him in traction and putting the hip back in place and see what happens.

I am conversing with my vet -- and yes -- I will take his advice and I believe firmly if he thought for a minute the bull was suffering or I was abusing or neglecting him that he would be very upfront with me. He is a large animal vet most of all.

If my bull could be helped -- I don't need to breed him, I don't want to do anything but let him have a good life --- taken care of! He is a good bull, and I know you guys don't care to hear this but he is a gentle bull. He would live the life of luxury in my opinion. He enjoys being bathed, brushed, scratched and rubbed on. As my vet has said -- "pasture art or lawn art".

No, Dun -- I'm still here. Yes I can handle the truth -- and the information you guys are giving me. It's helps me greatly to hear your view points. Honesty and bluntless --- I do not shy away from. I apologize if you all thought I just ducked my tail and ran but I didn't.

I'm still hear and I may not get the answer I want but what is most important is that the advice be honest and genuine. We don't all get the answers we want as we go throught life -- that is why it is called life!
