Ok guys, I have this small operation and a few head of cattle. We bought them last spring and put the girls and the boy together. They are in the pre-bag, pre-springing stage...just starting, no doubt they are in a motherly way.
They have been loving it up all year and I have experienced 2nd and 3rd cycle romances caused by a little residual "scent" but this guy is just....H>>>>>.
In the last couple of weeks he has finally started ignoring them. Guessing his weight at about 1200 now and gentle as a puppy. Gets hand fed every morning and we mingle; he is not aggressive.
He has started developing this problem where he has to push things around with his little polled knob. Turning feeders over and destroying the little house I built to cover the salt like is one thing, but now he has started pushing on the gates.
I have a hot wire and will install it across the inside of the gates today as it already is on the inside of the fence.
Anybody have any "Boy's Toys" ideas that may keep him busy. He isn't going to be a "bed hopper" so I'm not going to go and get him some more girl friends.
Thanks,
Mark
