First rule of dealing with bulls--NEVER TRUST ONE. Neighbor had a bull his kids could (and did) walk right underneath--I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions on his parenting skills--until the day the bull put the neighbor on his back, luckily right next to one of the few fences on the farm that would hold him. He just turned, charged, and knocked him down with no indication whatsoever that he was going to do anything of the sort, nor any reason for doing it. They got him in the barn with the aid of a 30-06 bullet between his legs, and the next day it took 4 good-sized guys (I got to help, as said neighbor had a mysterious errand he had to go on when it came time to load the bull!) to get him in the truck to the sales barn. Yes, you can get a bull to eat out of your hand, yes, some bulls will follow you around like a puppy dog, and it's entirely possible that "ol Brutus there hasn't hurt a flea in his life", but if you trust one, you do it at your peril. A bull is a whole lot bigger and stronger than you are, and many people have found out the hard way that they often give no sign when they go from a big, lovable goof to a ton of high-speed destruction. To have kids (or women, particularly at certain times I dare say you can figure out for yourself) around a bull is just begging for tragedy, and it's difficult to blame the bull for acting like Nature intended him to.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
