I know a couple guy still alive that will tell you just how much of a pet a bull is. The rest are dead.
True story - Friend of mine has had Herford’s for 10+ years. Few years ago he had a heifer that died during birth (bull calf). None of his others would foster it. He bottle fed it, took it in at night (single digits), and generally treated it like a pet. Any time he was out it would come up and rub on him and let him rub on it (most shy away). Needles to say around 18 months it nearly ki11ed him. Knocked him down and proceeded to stomp him in the ground. He made it to the feeder and crawled up under part of it. He said that bull was down on his front knees trying to get under there with him and was lifting the feeder off the ground every time. Only thing that saved his life was his 357. He didn't shoot it but it took five shots to scare it off. He said #6 was going in its head if it kept coming. To this day I do not understand why he waited to the last shot, what if he missed. BTW - He started carrying a gun because a nieghbor was ki11ed by a bull just 6 months earlier and does not get in with them unless required (setup feed operations so he doesn't have too).

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
