[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1631909, member: 40255"] I have been around cattle my whole life, during that time I have had two young(yearling bulls) at different times that were mean to calves. The young bull I have now tries to keep the calves away from their mothers even when the cow is not going through her cycle. The other evening he was harassing one cow that had cycled a couple days ago. He would just keep shoving her in small circles, wouldn't let calf close to her or let her graze. It is a small group of cows and he keeps them stirred up all the time. I separated him from all the cows with calves and left a yearling heifer with him. What is his problem? Will he out grow this or is he best used for hamburger? That's what I did with the other bull. All of the other bulls I have owned, young or mature, were kind to calves and conducted themselves as they should with cows. I raised him and he was an easy going youngster all winter, he had a steer calf for company and never showed any obnoxious behavior till I turned him in with the cows. [/QUOTE]
