[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1580232, member: 18809"] Docility is huge on our small farm (30 cows). A perfect example today: Built Right embryo bull calf, born December. Crazy as a loon! We halter the calves every Sunday after church. We gave up on him, he literally tries to kill you if you try to settle him at all. I have so many bruises on my knees and legs from him. So, vet came out today to calfhood our heifers and I decided to get this crazy bull calf cut. We had him in the pen behind the chute, and tried to move him into the smaller pen behind the chute. He went nuts, ramed me hard, broke the hinges on the 14 foot gate, and slipped under the gate. Ran through two more hot fences, totally scared out of his mind. Vet told me to load him on the trailer as is, and sell the jerk. So, getting him on the trailer will be the fun part! I have only had one other calf like that on our place, and amazingly, it was this bull's flush brother! We had to do the same thing with him; load him on the trailer and hope we get to the stockyards without him killing himself or others!!! [/QUOTE]
