[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7742620, member: 86168"] agree, but the nose ring is the only addition that can 'aid' control, a halter, is completely useless, if a bull decides not to 'obey'. The ring works by discouraging wayward movement, it hurts, bulldogs work the same way, they discourage movement, by causing pain. It is not a nice way, to control a bull, but what other way, is there ? We are talking about shows, not on farm, there is a massive potential risk, a bull still reacts to instinct, and at a show, you are putting that bull, into a completely alien environment to normal. I don't know the answers, and l like looking at the bulls, at shows, but by being there, those bulls could very easily cause a big problem. That they haven't, is down to the skill, and dedication of the breeders/showmen, and luck. A large 1,000 kg bull, running amok, at a crowded show, isn't a nice thought. [/QUOTE]
