Yesterday I was bedding down cattle in a large pen when my tame,quiet bull put his head down and came at me bucking and dancing side to side, snorting and in a flash was within striking distance. It was as menacing as anything I had ever seen from a bull. I was raised on this farm and we were all drilled to"NEVER TRUST A BULL", my mother and fathers words, every time we went near the barn . I had to give this guy a two hander across the side of the head with the pitch fork I was holding and he veered right and he slipped as he turned and I made my escape. And I don't mind admitting that I was as scared as I have ever been. I remember that I yelled at him as he came at me. He is young and I believe he thought he was going to play but who wants to play with 1700 lbs. Ten minutes later he was standing at the gate watching me so I grabbed a handfull of feed out of the wheelbarrow and big moron ate out of my hand quiet and docile as could be ..go figure.. I usually carry the most destructive weapon ever known to man...one of my old hockey sticks but I have never had to use it.I know two people who have had relatives killed by cattle beasts, one chap's father was gored by a bull and died three days later from internal bleeding. A colleague of mine had his brother killed by a cow that gored his leg and ripped an artery, he didn't make it out of the barn. This cow had been around him for years and was considered a quiet animal. So Farming Farmallers be carefull out there and "DON'T EVER TRUST A BULL" or any hoofbeats you hear coming up behind you, growls,flashing teeth and any other animal behaviours...Mike in Exeter Ontario

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
