[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 805247, member: 7509"] I hate to add more to this thread but I just looked at your videos for the first time and am very troubled by what I see. There is a basic problem here in that you have been touching and playing with him. One should NEVER touch a bull, especially not as you have, scratching and rubbing him on the head!!! I agree that this does not appear to be a particularly aggressive bull but in my opinion you have gone so far wrong with handling of him that he may be dangerous no matter what you do from here on. I for one would NOT recommend trying to halter him or any other remedial action except selling him. He needs a different owner at this point. Even if you manage to change yourself and work with him, in my opinion he may at some time in the future relapse into his current "playful" mode. And if you are in the pasture with your back turned to him he may at some point send you to the hospital with a "playful" charge from behind. My semi-beginner's advice: never ever touch a bull in any way, especially not as you have. I think he is dangerous at this point at least towards you. A different, more experienced owner may be able to reestablish control of him. My advice is to sell him now and start out differently with another bull or go to AI. Do not touch a bull, do not play with him. To be very frank with you, I am afraid you are going to get hurt sooner or later by this bull due to his lack of respect for you caused by his handling as shown in your videos. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
