[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 555394, member: 7645"] I would go off on him across the face with an aluminum baseball bat every time he charged me; BUT you are still taking big chances with your health and safety with that kind of approach. Maybe we were just lucky but I just can't recall many (make that ANY) grain fed, barned bulls less than a year old that were THAT aggressive......though I can think of several that became dangerous over time. A lot of animals freak out the first time they are penned; but even wild burros typically settle down after two weeks of grain ration in a corrall. You have been working with him for TWO months and he still is a freakl. I "probably" could beat him some sense into him; but I suspect that his calves and his daughters will ALSO be a load to deal with. I might take a chance on a high headed heifer; but a typical bull has two dozen progeny a year. If just half of them turned out like their old man (or worse) you would be taking your life into your own hands every time you wanted to give a shot or sell a truckload of calves. Oh I hate to say this, but I think the best course of action is to sell and eat the difference. [/QUOTE]
