[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 291801, member: 3739"] About the dairy bulls: I believe that they're more dangerous than beef bulls, simply because that they haven't any herd experience, instead they're put in a pen right after birth by themselves or with another calf and like dun said, strictly bottle fed. You'd get to think that after having to be entirely dependent on people they'd be as docile as a lamb when their older. But no, instead they're really aggressive and dangerous. I believe it;s because they haven't developed a fear/respect of people like most beef bulls have through being in a herd and watching their mommas, and that has to be knocked into the dairy bulls with a swat on the nose or a few shake of a sorting stick or paddle. Without that fear they get like those wild elk or bears you hear about that have been hand fed by tourists that start losing fear of humans and respect and thus start getting dangerous. Just my two cents. And I also want to say that I had a great grandpa get killed by a bull. That was before I was born, so from stories from my great Uncle Bill and my dad the bull was probably a red angus. Something got into that bulls head when Pa (what we kin call great Grandpa) was in the barn with him. [/QUOTE]
