[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1766562, member: 25884"] We have had several bulls that are very calm and friendly when you go in the pasture... not aggressive but wanted to get some scratches. Bubba, the big red poll bull... would come to my voice and load right on the trailer. He would not push for grain, and knew that the trailer meant he was going for a ride... which was usually a trip to see some new girls.... both my son and I shed tears when his arthritis got so bad and we shipped him direct to a slaughter plant. You never turn your back on one but I would rather deal with a bull than an unpredictable cow. A bull pretty much lets you know his feelings... a cow can really switch her attitude.... If she went back to old behavior of the swinging the head, then take it off and leave it off. If she comes to you with no problem, then why use it. I thought she was hard to catch thus the haltering. Use a neck chain to "tie her" in the barn. Hope that stopping the milk replacer in the bucket will curb the heifers problem. [/QUOTE]
