we get a few of these every now and then (see my avatar), in fact there are a couple more out there now. his buddy just ran faster, this one stopped to fight and got tied down instead. his second encounter with a rope. I won't know what he weighed until next week. he was pretty fat, probably should have taken him to the packing house instead but that involves inspections and it was a Saturday etc. Last time we took one of these kind in I got in trouble - it was a Sunday and nobody was answering phones so I self-inspected (a no-no in AZ, supposed to only be for pasture movements or to auction) but that one broke a leg and I didn't want to waste that 400 lbs of meat!
they are getting better, fences hold most all of them now, and as I always say...at least he was a steer. at one time there were a bunch of maverick bulls that size and age running around
