[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1146666, member: 20580"] Understandable explanations. I could see how my comments might have come off as a little over the top, your thinking can change based on perspective and situation. We're small enough that we typically only have 1 sometimes 2 main bulls on the farm and another pen of 3 or 4 yearling sale bulls that are usually all sold by the time breeding season starts so if any undesirable behavior occurred we'd have a pretty good idea which one it was and send him off to town. Fortunately Herefords are known for their good disposition and ours over the years have been pretty problem free and do just fine when they have to be in a pen on their own. Can only remember of 1 bull we had that did some minor things like tip over feed bunks or a hay ring from time to time but he never posed a threat to someone in the lot and was more of a show off. He's the one that the shoot the bull comment came to mind as we had some old fella over potentially looking to buy him when we were done using him and the bull was bellowing at us and pawed at the ground while looking at him and the guy told us "not sure I could put up with that, I'd probably loose my patience some day and shoot him if he did that all the time."
