[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1241860, member: 20580"] Our Hereford bulls have always been easy going too. We've maybe only had 2 bulls that caused us any kinds of troubles but neither were terribly bad. One bull liked push hay rings around the lot once the hay got eaten down far enough that he could push it over the top of the remaining hay. Always tried to put the heaviest ring we had in his lot. Sold him to a commercial breeder a few miles away, the next time we checked up on him the guy told us "boy he sure loves to play with hay rings huh?" the guy wasn't annoyed by it, he found it funny actually and said out of all the bulls he had in the pen with him he was still the best behaved as one day they had broke a gate open and caused some trouble but he was the only bull that stayed in the lot. The other bull was one we had bought that used to be a show bull. Was a big puppy dog when you had a halter on him but without the halter he liked to "show off." Would always paw the ground or grunt and make noises whenever someone was in sight. Would also not want to turn our back on him in the lot as if he got up by you and got his head low he'd try to butt you and if you didn't see it coming would probably knock you off your feet and put you in a compromising situation. Wasn't scared that he'd charge you but all those things got him a trip to the sale barn as 1 guy came out to look at buying him after we were done with him and told us he's too old to be putting up with him making all those noises and showing off that he'd probably lose his patience 1 day and shoot him.
