In Reply to: Bull question posted by M-Farm on January 14, 2015 at 07:38:08:
We always rent bulls for 2 years per bull. Now all my cows are tame and can be hand fed. So when they are out on pasture I take a bucket of alfalfa cubes and walk out amongst them and hand feed the cows. The bulls do not get hand fed but I feel safe when around the cows even with the bull there. But we did get one bull one time that would have his moments when out in the pasture. When me moved the cows home and separated the bull he would not stay in the lot and when you tried to round him up he would charge. It was so bad I rounded him up with the farm pickup and my 4020 and he would charge the tractor. Needless to say he got sold. What was different about this bull which came from the same guy we got bulls from for years is that the guy started not wintering or raising the bulls. When he raised them he would walk in the yard of bulls and feed then corn with a bucket. Him and his dad did that for years because they said it made the bulls less wild and more used to people. I always "trusted" his bulls. And by that I mean you never trust a bull but you shouldn't have to be afraid to walk with your cows. I would sell that bull and get a different one. Part of my enjoyment of farming is walking with the cows in the pasture and I could never have live stock if I had to be afraid.
