Next door manage their bulls with a Huntaway. Yours I'm afraid needs managing onto a wagon.
Send the bull to the knackers yardMy father has a young dairy bull he bought just after Christmas. Its been a late year getting the cows out so he has only really been out a month or so.
My father has been put out of the yard twice now after gathering the cows in by this young bull. My brother went to turn the cows out and the bull made a go for him also, so my father questions the duration of the bull on the farm
What would you do with him? Any way to settle this young bull?
If he doesn't catch a bit of sense the bull is for steak.
An appointment with Ronnie McdonaldDad has already said he would never sell him to another farmer for moral reasons.
Any tips to help settle him?

There's plenty of bulls in the world but you only have one family, which would you miss more?
Lots of bulls will go through a bit of a frisky stage and then settle down
I used to run a big Ayrshire bull, he had been a bit wild as a younger, I wouldn't go into the field of he was close
By the time he left he was like a pet, he'd eat cake out of my hand every day
But if you don't think you can manage him safely then he has to go
I chucked ours out 30 years ago, if you need to use one, the bull shouldn't be there. I have used a length of chain on a ring, works for a while with a young bull, and they never go out. just think, injured/dead walker, you in court, 'well you knew he was dangerous, because you took steps to control him' guiltyA number of dairy bulls used to be fitted with a mask - same idea as the mask used for trained birds of prey. Can you still buy them?
