I repeat - don't work on Sunday!

After an early service this morning I found I had a flat tire on the mini pickup and fencing trailer hooked to it. After repairing two tires I headed to do some electric fencing. I am trying to get cows to a new pasture that I just bought in the section across the road. The old fences were bad in spots so I ran an east hotwire and a west hotwire. I was going to load up a dozen that won't calve for quite a while and dump them out. I got them sorted and nearly got kicked about 10 times. I should have known there. Took the ladies over and dumped them out. By the time I took the stock trailer home and got the chore pickup to chop a water hole for them they met me in the middle of the blacktop. They had already taken out a fence and were headed back to their friends. Grrr.

I did see something I've never seen before. The bull with them was one I raised from AI. He's a gentle baby but you know how those are. He was bellering the whole time I was loading those 12 heifers. After I got the last one in the trailer I turned around to see him throwing a tantrum. He had knocked over the full mineral feeder and then proceeded to bust it to bits. I've never seen one throw a tantrum when you moved some girls away. Bizarre.

You was messin' with his harem.

Sounds like he is spoiled!

LOL I have and still have a tweaked bumper on my truck from him LOL His name was worm. Out of a cow my mother bottle fed. We had no bull at that time It was early spring and I told her she needed to worm her cows. 10 days later he popped out Must have been one of those immaculate consceptions.

I understood always move the bull away first , not the other way around . When you move a bull from one group of females to another , they get the idea of better things to come , not the idea of loss. You have to appeal to their greed , not fight with it .
