[QUOTE="holly heifer, post: 255393, member: 2767"] :oops: Be vary of a tame bottle raised bull. I have raised 2, the first being a Simmential. I was ignorant to the ways of a "tame" bull. As a "baby" I played with him, he'd follow me around, head butt me, ect. :oops: Therefore, he did not respect people and thought they were his playthings. We did use him on the cows, he had wonderful calves. We had to carry a club whenever we were in the lot with him. Dad had a gun in the truck and we were told to " shoot the SOB if he ever attacked him". Only once did dad hit the bull across the nose with the" club"--- from then on he would keep his distance. :roll: i sold the old guy last year, he fetched $1000 at the sale barn. The other is a reg Angus that was a twin. He is 6 years old and is the bull I use on my bottle heifers. His babies are small but nice. :D He was raised differently than the first bull, I did not "play "with him. He is gentle, but respects me. Still, I never turn my back on any bull and never get in a situation where I can not get away safely. When he had a foot injury, I medicated him and hosed the leg without restraining him. His calves are also very quiet and easy to handle. :P [/QUOTE]
