[QUOTE="GMN, post: 292355, member: 2382"] We usually nose ring and chain the herd bull. One time we rented a holstein bull, he did not like me from day one, his attitude was all wrong. He liked to play with the feeder, tip it over, move it, he liked to block the path where I got the cows up, and when he did go, he headed straight to the feeder. One night I made several mistakes. One I shut the gate so I was in the barnyard with the cows and the bull, I was in the process of moving the feeder, standing it up right, and he charged me, that fast, luckily I left the four wheeler running, and shot over to the closest gate I could, and he started lifting the 4 wheeler up in the back with me on it, and my Great Pyringes, came running, distracted him for a second, I was able to jump off, jump over the gate, and run for my life. he proceeded to rip the 4 wheeler fenders off, etc... That nite I called the guy we rented him from and he was gone. Lesson learned, never be in a enclosed space with a bull, carry a cell phone, and always have a way out if something does happen. Never go on foot. Any reservations about the attitude of a bull, get rid of him, not worth the risk. Gail Usually the older they get the worse they become, if they start lunging at you, not backing down, the kick dirt routine, bellering, time for him to go. Sometimes also, if they get too big, you don't want them breeding your cows anyways. we've never kept a bull over 3 1/2 years. [/QUOTE]
