[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 448460, member: 6543"] Some of you boys really like to live a life of adventure. Any bull I got over two years old will normally step up in the trailer in an open field with a feed pan. I won't say I have never fought a bull into anything. Won some and lost some. Tore up an awful lot of stuff as well. But buying something with some civilization and decent disposition in the first place and keeping him that way is the only way to go. In my youth my dad bought a young Charolais bull. He pulled up in the yard with the trailer rocking and jumping even after he had stopped. I walked over to peer in and the bull nailed the wall where i was. My dad and I had a brief discussion and against my counsel he turned that rascal out with the cows. for something over six years no one could ever set foot in that field again unless well mounted or on a large tractor. whole cow herd got wild as deer and deadly as bears. My dads partner ventured out into the field one day to check on a cow that had just calved. The bull was no where in sight. the cow charged him and then the bull appeared and he ended up treed in a tree in the swamp. dad went down on the crawler loader to retrieve his buddy from the tree. The bull charged the loader and dad knocked him down with the loader bucket to the top of the head. when he told me about it on the phone I asked if he buried him or left him for the buzzards. He said neither, that the bull had gotten up and staggered away. I said d--n dad, sounds like you missed an opportunity. He got mad and told me that I never had liked his bull. I said I thought he was right. They decided that they needed to sell him and it took a year to get him caught and loaded and tales of that adventure are still told by my cousin who had assumed my role as youthful flunky while I served Uncle Sam. they were trying to load him into a closed body stock truck up a loading ramp as they did not think a trailer would hold him. This was back in the sixties and trailers then were not what they are today. Everything was hauled in trucks. My cousin finally offered himself as bait and stood in the door of the truck body. The bull charged up the ramp at him and he somehow eluded the bull and closed the door. It is said that the truck was nearly fire wood when the bull was finally delivered and unloaded. [/QUOTE]
