[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 228007, member: 411"] Around here we don't have time for any of that crap. It is an immediate cull if you are high headed crazy, hard on fences/fence jumper, a roaming bull or a threat to mine or anyone elses life. Especially here in crappy california it is a big deal to have a hazard on the ranch. Even though the cows are not close to the road, all it takes is one idiot walking across my property and getting hurt by a very pertective cow and I am done. I would loose everything. Even though he was "treespacing." ALL of our cows are very mellow, there offspring are mellow (or they grow wheels) and our bulls are mellow. It is a requirement for this ranch at this point in time. It is tough to cull so hard but it is not worth the risks of someone getting hurt or worse killed over a cow that is replacable. As far as selling that cow,(IMO) it would be immoral to sell it to anyone other than butcher. If it is just wild I would state that on my paperwork and they would mention that but this cows sounds like a hazard. I think of it as how would I feel if someone unknowingly bought her (look at all the newbies not knowing what they are buying at auction) and I read in the paper that someone got killed because of it. I knew she would hurt someone yet I did nothing to prevent it. You get gun shy in california. Can not wait to move. Just my 2 cents for all its worth. Be careful with cows like that. There are to many calmer, nicer cows out there to deal with that. Double R P.S. Please keep us posted as to what you do [/QUOTE]
