Walt-
You gotta do this with the ring still in the nose, ya know. . .
I went to work for a neighbor with registered Angus after I finished 8th grade in 1962. One of my jobs was changing irrigation pipes. I had been around cattle all my life and was comfortable with them, but was a little nervous when the Angus bull followed me for about half the line- would stand by the end of the pipe I was moving, walk with it over to the new setting, then back to the next pipe, etc. He finally lost interest and moved back to the herd. I grew up with dairy bulls, which are pretty dicey, and didn't know how much I could trust a beef bull.
I mentioned it to the boss, and he got a good laugh- "That's Mike, our best bull- he wants you to scratch his head with the irrigation pipe. Just give him a couple scratches each time, and eventually, he'll get enough and move on." So from then on, Mike got his head scratched when I changed pipes in his field.
I don't believe Mike's head got mounted when he passed, but I think its a great idea.
