I had an Angus bull that figured it was playtime when I went through the yard with a bale on the loader. He would head butt the bale,try to knock it off..I would put the tractor in low/low and just idle along until he was head to head and then I'd pull the throttle down and give him a good pushing, by the time I got to the feeder, I would get off the tractor to cut the strings off before I dumped it in, he would be right there but he never seemed to bother me ,BUT , I was raised on a farm where the number 1 rule was"NEVER TRUST A BULL , NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A BULL" I usually kept the tractor between me and the bull. My neighbours used to get a kick out of the "bull fight" and you know he could rock the tractor pretty good shoving on the loader. He would also put his head in the feeder and lift the side of it off the ground. he once knocked my hay elevator off of its frame while he was scratching his back on it. Once some small squares fell off the wagon going through the yard and he got one ,got down on his front knees and gored the bale into the ground..after watching that I understood completely how bulls kill farmers. Other that our daily fight he was a tame quiet guy that bwould let me spray him for flies and curry comb his back..but I alwys had a hockey stick shaft in my hand and he knew what it represented. Bulls can seem tame and they will start playing and kill you. Did I mention"NEVER TRUST A BULL NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A BULL!
