#4. Isn't he a handsome fella? Notice his horns? We have them cut at an angle, so when they grow, they will grow down instead of out. That way they don't have "hook em" horns. Our bulls generally don't fight, but if they get to pushing and shoving, no one gets stabbed! When we turn bulls out with the cows. We have "groups". We then put the more compatible bulls in those groups of cows. We have the heifers, the 3 year old, grannies and any skinnies or smaller cows. This group we call the "cane and crutches" lol. Then we have the rest of the cows as a group.

We're biting the bullet this year and dehorning all our bulls. Most of our customers prefer it and getting those big old horned bulls down a chute at testing time is NOT fun....I don't think the Bossman is real happy about it but it was his decision.
ReplyDeleteGood looking boys!!!
ReplyDeleteI learn so much reading your blog. Raising cattle requires a scientific mind, I think! Certainly, a logical one!
