[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 708056, member: 12607"] No doubt in my mind that hand-rearing is the major contributor - these bulls are removed from the dam from birth and reared on bottle/bucket by humans - they lack the typical 'fear/respect' that calf raised on his dam has for humans - and once they reach sexual maturity, they don't hesitate to challenge that measly little human for dominant status - and even a burly 250 lb man is no match for an 1800-2400 lb testosterone-driven mass of muscle and bone. We see a similar syndrome in hand-reared male llamas - the llama folks call it 'Berserk Male Syndrome' - for good reason. Similar deal for hand-raised stallions; they're a danger. Lack of culling for disposition probably also plays a role, but it takes second place to the lack of fear/respect those hand-reared bulls have for humans. [/QUOTE]
