I had a bull calf where the mom didn't make it. Bottle fed it, became the pet of the place, my wife & friends & sis made quite a fuss with it.
I forgot to nip it in time.
I knew that would be bad news. Actually grew into a wonderful looking bull, but sure had attitude. Lots of it. He went on the trailer pretty quick. Actually I made money on him, he had good form. Just hope he never hurt anyone.
When I was little dad had a smaller, average cow in the bunch. She was more terror than a bull - always after a person. I kinda stayed away from the cattle until dad got rid of her.
I have a whiter cow - she is heck to try to do anything with. Puts her head down, & won't do anything - just watches you with her head down... She's got to find the trailer real soon now.
Back when dad had a bull - we always get rid of them when they develop attitude. Was a calm one, one day it decided it didn't like a fence gate, and it made toothpicks out of that wooden gate. Just whako. We were there, it was walking along, turned, & just attacked this gate. Would not go, let up, or pay any attention to dad or the tractor. He got it in the barn - with much effort, got a truck in a month & got it out of here.
That one impressed on me, at a young age, not to turn your back on the critters. Can be as calm as can be, but only takes 5 minutes....

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
