Just put a video clip on here of your secret powersI commented to Mrs NeilO that I might be sorely tempted to if I had a camera crew and a gullible TV producer present...

Yep would have taken that bull in direct, no pissing bout with it !
Looked a bit of a big belly but sometimes that’s just how they are fed

Really good down to earth representation for the general public to see. However two observations, the guy with the bull could do with some pointers when he's around animals. He does appear highly strung which will telegraph onto the animal. The crofters yard could do with a muck out, if that was around here the cruelty man would be knocking the door. All in all they seem to be doing their best, fair play to everyone involved.
Agree he really does not seem that confident with the stock.
I suspect that He is a big, fit chap who normally is big and strong enough to manage to be in charge of an animal, but as we all know, experience and nouse is needed with big animals... It'll come, but they really need a proper handling setup before someone gets hurt, they were struggling with the bull in an earlier program I recall?

The irony is that they could have bought a decent quiet Limousin bull to put on their Galloway cows.
The Limousin x Galloway has replaced the traditional Bluegrey (White Shorthorn x Galloway) in many areas, and produces a far better calf when put to a decent terminal sire.
Unless they are trying to breed White Shorthorns, which isn't for amateurs.
Perhaps if they had tried halter training prior to 10 days before the sale,
Say maybe when he was a couple of years,
Really impressed with the confidence thatba heras fence panel would be effective in stopping the said beast.
Good job they make their money training sheepdogs. They treated trying to halter train that bull as a lark right from the start and turned a reasonably quiet and sensible animal into a pretty screwed up individual and then still took him to a sale where he had to be led around the ring. Not a lot of common sense with that pair.Perhaps if they had tried halter training prior to 10 days before the sale,

West Scottish Lamb is just up the road, they kill stock bulls. I think the best bet would be to get him straight there when he was in the trailer. I wouldn't want him back home again.Said that to Herself, he would not have come home...
If you come across fencing that can, details please!Thought the same. I’m not sure site fencing is up to containing an irate bull. Still, makes for good viewing.

Bet those Limmy x Galloways are nice quiet cows at calving.
Jim Webster was a good poster on BFF.I remember chatting online with Jim Webster around 2000/1 and we were talking about trad breeds and Galloways (whicj he knew about), and their "excellent maternal qualities", came into the conversation. He then recounted the damage one disgruntled cow had done to a shed to get at her calf, who had been penned up inside for some treatment or something.
I remember this tale, every time my daughter sees some Galloways and starts.... "Dad..... they are really cute.... and would be great Sucklers.... Please...."
"Nope!!"
