[QUOTE="holly heifer, post: 530715, member: 2767"] :shock: ok- I am going to jump on this one. I did have a "pet" steer about 20 years ago. He lived to the ripe old age of 8 ( grandpa one day snuck him off to the sale barn, and later sheepishly handed me a check) . I was a little peeved, but could not stay mad at gramps. As I grew up and older, i have raised LOTS of bottle calves . The second one I raised i got attached to and kept him as a pet. He was 2 years old and huge. He would try to head butt me and knock me down. One day hubby was putting out hay and the steer dang near killed him. The "pet" went to the sale barn. :oops: I have not had a pet steer since then. All the bottle bulls are castrated and well fed but not played with. Their names are all "food" :lol2: Now my bottle heifers are kept to be replacements( if they are nice enough) and are treated like show cattle ( broke to lead and tie) not treated like dogs. The idea of goats or mini herfs is a good onne for someone wanting pets. Rabbits are nice too. And llamas! :heart: [/QUOTE]
