[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 708886, member: 8192"] We are a commercial operation and have a lot of bulls, 70 maybe. Most of them are charolais and charbray - but we also have half a dozen black angus. These are the ones we respect the most! The old charolais are pretty even tempered, the charbray are chosen carefully for temperament as it can be dodgy. The angus are dead quiet to poke around mostly, big shiney puppy dog eyes, you could pat them standing in the yards if you wanted to (but we don't!) .... but just let something not suit them and they become very dangerous. If they don't want to be included in the muster, they'll stand and posture, keep persisting with them and they'll chase you....and keep coming! I've never been chased by a charolais or charbray bull. Because our paddocks are large, bulls tend to live in a certain part with their mob of cows and maybe another bull or two. When you gather them all together to bring them in, some spectacular fights break out which disrupt the whole process. Sometimes they don't let up and have to be left behind, just too dangerous to mess with. Plenty of people dreaming along on the tail of a large mob of cattle have had a rude awakening when a bull fight busts out the back! A beaten bull will then bolt off, taking a string of cows with him which makes for some fast riding to get them back. Cows don't like meeting up with cattle outside their "group" and do plenty of fighting too until they knock up a bit. [/QUOTE]
