Just this morning my 2nd cousin on my mom's side got gored by his bull. Severe internal injuries and head trauma, flown in a helicopter to the hospital. He was talking about retireing in the next couple years, now it looks like he'll have to do it sooner. I have no idea what condition he's in tonight, but I know he's gonna need all the support he can get.

I'm guessing he was feeding the animals in the lot when the bull got him. The officer shot the bull with his pistol to get him off but still didn't phase it. I was at work at the time, but the story was on the news.

That's EXACTLY why we don't keep anything with nuts around anymore. Bad way to go into retirement

I hope he comes through ok. Neighbour of mine was killed by an Ayrshire bull not long ago, he was alone in the pasture with the bull and the cows. When another neighbour went looking because he hadn't come in for lunch, all he recognized that told him the lump in the field was human was a belt buckle.

Your cousin is in our prayers. I bet he has been around cows his entire life. It seems like when someone around my neck of the woods gets hurt like that, it is someone who has been doing it for years. Not that it matters, but what breed of bull was it? It sounds like the bull got just what he needed. Keep us updated.

It was a red Holstien, and yeah, he's been doing it his whole life. he even told me to "watch out for that red bull because he gets awfully close" last summer when I went out to borrow his JD swather.

We haven't had a bull around since my oldest brother could walk. My parents saw and knew the risk, and did what was necessary. It's well worth having the breeder come out and do his thing.

Recently we got 2 sets of twins, from 2 mothers who were breed the same day, and 3 sets within 6 weeks. Unfortunately they were all boy/girl mixes so they are all going out on the truck. We are still packed from a streak of heifer calves (very few and far between bull calves) that lasted about 2 1/2-3 years after my grandma died. Evening out now but man, that was nice when we could ship out 3-6 heifers.

update on Jim.. in reply to Don-Wi, 02-23-2006 19:55:19

From What I hear, a good portion of his ribs are broke, broke sternum, punctured lung and spleen.

As for the bull, it was shot in the nose and possibly the jaw(only made it madder) It got loaded into a trailer, brought to the Reedsville auction house but they wanted nothing to do with it, same thing with all the meat packers in the area, and there's a good deal of meat packers here in Wisconsin. Ended up getting a bullet in the head and drug out of the trailer.

Don I am sorry to hear about your cousin. I don't know what to think anymore, I need a bull around because artificial insemination is too time consuming for my operation.( I have a 100 acre hobby farm and I work out, easy to miss a cow in heat) I keep Angus bulls and the three I've had in the last 5 years have all been quiet by nature but I was raised on a farm where the rule of thumb was "Never trust a Bull" I had the cattle out the other day and Bully Bully was playful with the calves then he stopped and stared at me and pawed the ground..just makes the hair stand up on your neck, never knowing if he is just playing or he's eyeing you up for the hit. When you hear about this you start to think about what you should be doing, I'm thinking a can of pepper spray might not be a bad idea to carry when I have to be in the same yard or shed. He does respect my hockey stick but if he ever attacked the hockey stick would do little. I do hope your cousin recovers from his injuries and everybody be careful out there. ...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Forget the pepper spray- this is where a .357 mag or 9mm P38 is handy on the belt. Old stock pens in town when having cattle auction or boars had stock handlers carrying on belt, auctioneer had .44 in shoulder holster and clerk had .303 #4 handy. Couple times they got used. Brother used to borrow my old coach gun with slug and buck loads for auctions when had nervous livestock. RN.

Mr. M.S. We do not want to read of your health problems (or worse). Take no chances. In over 30 years of dairy farming, the only bull was me (where else could all that bullsh-t come from?). From when I could remember my Father always used AI. He was one of the first to start in the county. With syncronization of heats,etc, AI works very well with part time farmers re breeding, and you get your calving over faster making grouping of animals easier. Think it through, and load that bull for a one way ride. ... QR..

Don Your cousin is in our prayers too. After last weekend trying to that sick bull of mine loaded and to the Vet and the bull almost getting me down, it reminds me how lucky I am.

Again we will pray for your cousin
