Yesterday I was bedding down cattle in a large pen when my tame,quiet bull put his head down and came at me bucking and dancing side to side, snorting and in a flash was within striking distance. It was as menacing as anything I had ever seen from a bull. I was raised on this farm and we were all drilled to"NEVER TRUST A BULL", my mother and fathers words, every time we went near the barn . I had to give this guy a two hander across the side of the head with the pitch fork I was holding and he veered right and he slipped as he turned and I made my escape. And I don't mind admitting that I was as scared as I have ever been. I remember that I yelled at him as he came at me. He is young and I believe he thought he was going to play but who wants to play with 1700 lbs. Ten minutes later he was standing at the gate watching me so I grabbed a handfull of feed out of the wheelbarrow and big moron ate out of my hand quiet and docile as could be ..go figure.. I usually carry the most destructive weapon ever known to man...one of my old hockey sticks but I have never had to use it.I know two people who have had relatives killed by cattle beasts, one chap's father was gored by a bull and died three days later from internal bleeding. A colleague of mine had his brother killed by a cow that gored his leg and ripped an artery, he didn't make it out of the barn. This cow had been around him for years and was considered a quiet animal. So Farming Farmallers be carefull out there and "DON'T EVER TRUST A BULL" or any hoofbeats you hear coming up behind you, growls,flashing teeth and any other animal behaviours...Mike in Exeter Ontario

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
