I volunteer with our Sheriff's Department as part of the mounted patrol - primarily parade duty, parking lot security, community service, etc. However, one of our main responsibilities is to round up livestock around the county - day or night. We have a pen that as a last resort will take livestock to when we cannot locate the owner or locate the pasture where they live and get them back into it. We had a black angus bull that had been hit by a car one night (sent the driver to the hospital, minivan was totalled, bull minor injuries - mostly angry) that we were trying to handle. It took a number of us including other members of the posse, Sheriff's Deputies, and a couple of cowboys to get that beast into the trailer. We built temporary pens and hid in the long grass. I'm sure we were a funny site looking back on it. The kicker was the lady who owned the bull was very angry at us for picking it up. She told us that he understood voice commands and all we had to do was call him by his name and tell him to get back in the pasture. Best I can remember, that bull never told me his name!
