I want to thank everyone one their advice and for those that may have a runaway, SHOOT IT!!!! Looking back though, I am satified that we did not. He is absolutely good looking for a yearling Highland bull. If, and I mean,IF we can somehow calm and handle him to where he is no longer a liability of escaping then we may change his name back to Ogre from the current name MEAT. He is currently living in a round horse coral and not really loving life. My wife is able to walk up to him and somewhat handle him now and I am really hoping that he will settle down when he gets in with other cattle. I do reccomend the purchase of a tranquilzer gun and consultation of GOOD Large Animal Vet. to get the proper drug cocktail and dosage.
Again, Thank all of you for your thoughts!!
I followed the story here and I am happy that you have your bull back again.
In my life I have done a fair bit of training all kinds of animals. My advice to you ist that you keep the bull for a long while in that round horse pen. Give him a lot of attention, possibly hand feed him every spare minute you have. He will feel lousy for a while but soon will look up to you and realize that all good things come from you. This in turn will make him to like you. But as it has been said before, make sure you can make a sharp exit if you have too. Animals can become very tame but they never can be trusted 100%.
Good Luck to you.
