[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 804498, member: 14817"] Just looking at how you acted in the last video shows that you were scared when he came close. Animals can sense fear wether they are being aggressive or playing. I have a commercial brahman cow like this, she would alway get close but I would back away because she acted a fool when i first got her, she jumped a gate and two fences leaving her baby in the pen. She is about 6 now and i corrected her behavior at about 4. I stopped acting scared and she stopped coming towards me. It has been about 2 years now and she is fine. When she gets close I do not move or act scared i simply wave my hand and she knows to get back. DO not act scared. And from him either being a show bull or just halter broke he should know what you hitting him means. Show cows and bulls learn discipline and should know that them being hit or a yanking of a halter means that they are doing something wrong. Do not act scared of him if he gits to close hit him in the nose. For instance when he put his head down and you stepped back wou should have yelled NO and hit him on the nose. As far as getting rid of the bull I am not saying the others are right or wrong. Its funny how people will get rid of a bull that is a little to friendly. But when they decide to get a pasture bull and he is penned up he acts a fool and you can't even get into a pen with him, then people regret selling their other bull because he is too gentle. Bad things happen, but not every gentle bull has killed somebody. And another suggestion, if he acts fine in the pasture and you just do not feel comfortable with him in the pen while you are putting hay down , can't you just put him outside (through the door that shows in the video) while you clean the pen? And you all say get a pasture bull, what do you thing is going to happen when he has to stay in the same pen when he is not breeding cows? Take a show cow or bull and pen them up and they will act fine, now take a pasture cow or bull and pen them up and see after a couple of hours especially with the bull that you can not enter the pen with them because they are mad.
