Miniature Zebu and chickens

[coaklnic000]

Hi I was wondering would a miniature zebu bull protect chickens from Fox's and other predators in TN. Thanks

Yes, but bulls can be hard on chicken coops.... especially if they sleep in 'em.

No joke I had a longhorn/Brahma cross cow get into my hen house it was fun getting her out a door Little over 2 ft wide she tried tearing the walls down in it

No. My neighbor had some that would roam into our pasture. The chicken hawks would feast and the Brahman cattle didn't even notice.

A dog would be your best sentry.

Get the right dog. We had a couple dogs that were worse on chickens than the foxes.

No matter what, you would not want to keep an intact bull of any breed around - alone - with no mates. No matter how small, they are dangerous.

Guard bulls are really not new. There was a farmer where I grew up, he had one of the best large mouth bass ponds in the county. Me and my older brother and several other kids our age would hike 3 miles from the house to use surface plugs to catch bass. It was a thrill to watch those 3 and 4 pound bass knock the crap out of a diving mouse or a hula popper. We almost always released them. The old man got tired of running kids off so he put a bunch of cows in the pasture. With those cows was a big framey, flea bag of a bull that was nasty. My brother and I crawled over the fence. We noticed there were cows in a locust thicket that ran down to the pond. We barely got started through the thicket when we walked right into that onery bull. He was laying in the dirt. When he got up, it didn't take a second to see this was not like our old Hereford bull. We ran for the fence. The word got out that you better not fish in old man Cordary's pond. I think the old man had a lot to do with advertising how bad his bull was.

I can understand the confusion. The internet is full of videos about animal buddies.

All I'm saying is it makes more sense than a llama.
