You learn something new everyday

I went to the auction barn today and there was a bull there who had his ears tied together behind his head with string.

The string pierced his ears. The reason? I was told that a man in the back said that if the bull's ears were tied together he wouldn't try to jump out of the pen. Well, he didn't try to jump out of the sale pen, but he did his darnest to get the ring men. And it did accentuate his horns.

YMMV

:lol: I never heard of that one.

I have done a lot of things to get them sold but this is a new one to me also.

I aint saying it's not true but I have been to a many a rodeo,rat killin, barn burnin and aint never seen that before. If that is true somebody should have told them boys at the Winnie salebarn about that trick.
They would bring in those tigers once a year out of that salt grass country and that was a show to behold.
But then again maybe it olny works on bulls. ;-)

Looks like some bull....

 

[robertwhite]

Just from the rear photo, that looks like one PO'd bull.

 

[kenny thomas]

Would hate to be the one tying the string. :idea:

[Hoppy72450]

Thanks for the ammo. I can't wait until I see Scotty Schwarts. I get to rouse him about something.

Seen lots of rings in a bull's nose with a small teather. They won't get near a fence with that teather. Never seen or heard anything about ears.

There is a reason the sale barn rings are 9 feet tall.

 

[Santas and Duhram Reds]

I have heard of this but never seen or heard of it actually being done.

There is no longer a sale barn in Winnie is there? I am under the impression Raywood is the closest to Winnie...Would love to know of more South East Texas barns, if they are out there.

No Winnie closed down, they could have sold tickets to that show. Anyone that has ever owned cattle should have sat and watched that sale at least once. I don't have a clue to where those salt grass boys are hauling to now other than Raywood. Port City has closed down as well. I think Dun told me he even went to the Winnie sale once for the show.

There is a sale barn in Raywood and one in Kirbyville. The one in Kirbyville is supposed to be pretty good. That's the 2 closest sales in our area that I know of.
