[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 554148, member: 852"] Good grief Taylor -- keeping him as a pet is fine, but at least castrate the calf! :shock: :o I've seen a few too many extremely mean Holstein bulls over the years and you do NOT want an aggressive Holstein bull in your backyard (inside your chainlink fence?! :shock:). Why do you think you haven't seen a mean Holstein bull yet??? Might be because the dairies don't keep mean ones very long...... My dairy vet has told me ONE story of a docile 7 year old Holstein bull. The rest of the bulls -- 99.9% of them -- become too aggressive to be near and are sold for slaughter around 2 to 2 1/2 years of age. And any dairy bull that comes running up to the fence is likely not looking to be petted. The "friendlier" they seem, the earlier they start to show aggressive tendencies. Sounds like you need a crash course in bovine body language, and I just hope the cost of that course isn't an ICU visit. [/QUOTE]
