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....

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
