[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 499734, member: 430"] He is a pure bred angus. Both his sire and dam will eat cubes out of my hand. He's really a nice looking bull and I was comtemplating raising him as one, that is why he was not cut but now he is bigger then I want to cut and is headed to the sale barn the 2nd/3rd weekend in March when I sell the other calves. I went out and fed again yesterday afternoon matching up calf tag numbers to cows and he came right up to eat like nothing ever happened. Yeah, he got hot fast - It was probably less then 5 mins it took to get all the cows in the pens. He wasn't stomping around or snorting,bellyaching or anything - just charging. To go into the pens is like a funnel out of about a 1/2 acre "trap pen" We could run him up to the mouth of the funnel fine - then he would turn back and charge as the other cow(s) went right into the main pen. I really don't have a clue as to how to load one that acts like that except with a horse and rope, any ideas for when that time comes in March? I expect he will be around 600lbs by then. Thanks everyone!!! :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
