I raised a couple of Texas Longhorn steers after we got rid of all the cows just to have a couple on the place. Still have one of them. Raised them both from calves and they would eat out of your hand. All of a sudden I started noticing one of them getting a little bronky. Over a few weeks I kind of watched him a little out of the corner of my eye. He weighed 1996 lbs and had horns that were over 6 feet long from tip to tip. He was about 6 or 7 years old. All of a sudden one day he took my wife and put her inside one of the bale feeders. I took after him with a pipe and although he did take off, for a minute I wasn't sure. I got him in the barn and loaded him in the trailer and headed to the salebarn. This was Sunday and the sale was Monday. When I unloaded him I told the guy that I wasn't sure, but I was afraid he might be a little goofy so to watch out. Guy said no problem and headed off after him down the alley. When the steer hit the end of the alley, he turned and headed after the guy who I don't think believed me. Put him up on the top of an 8 foot fence. When I left, the guy was sitting there trying to figure out what to do. Kind of funny, but it's not that I didn't warn him. I guess the moral of this is that all are really not far removed from wild animals. Any time you trust and animal too far, you better watch your back. On another note, my BIL got out the other day to tag a new born calf. While he was tagging it the cow hit him from behind and was working him over good. He finally got crawled, knocked under his pickup where he got away. Beat him up bad but no broken bones. He has had 6 calves from this cow and she never gave a hint that she had a mean streak in her. Again, just goes to show you. Bob
