crazy bull!

[bravevline]

THIS here young steer is becoming a problem!

if you go in the field, he sneaks up on you and sticks his head under your bum and tosses you to the sky! im not sure if hes playing or being aggressive, but hes gotta stop or he could find himsf in the deep freeze!

lucky for me, in this picture, im safely on the other side of the fence!

Was he bottle fed? I've not had much experience with steers, so I can't offer much help.

He may be playing now, but it will soon turn into more than that as he ages. More often than not, a friendly bovine is a dangerous bovine!

Hopefully other cattle people chime in, but I'd definitely start thinking about something to train him to respect your space. I'm not sure what would work the best, but I'm thinking it probably needs to be a bit more drastic to send the message. With intact bulls though, you will probably always need to be on your toes when in the field with them. You never know when they will decide to challenge you! I'm sure you know humans are no match for a 2000 pound animal!

Cattleprod now. Slaughter sooner than later.

all of our bulls are either intact, or sold for slaughter. we breed!

the freezer part was a joke. the landlord owns all the bulls. she kept this one because the other bulls are starting to get up in age.

What are you going in the field to do? I would suggest going in with a vehicle tractor or truck and to stay near it inside the field while doing whatever it is you are doing in there. This way you have a close escape route if need be.

If it's your grandpa's bull I am sure he know's its personality better than anyone.
