My Dad had a herd of registered Black Angus when I was growing up. We showed allot of our cattle in 4-H and at the Michigan State Fair and around Michigan. Most of the herd was pretty docile and easy going. We had some heifers get out and mixed in the main herd along with the bull. Afraid he might breed one I decided it would be easy solution to get the bull out of the herd until we got things shorted out. I walked up to him with a haulter threw on him and started leading him up to the barn. Got almost their and he realized what was happening. He went well over 1500lbs and no 15 year old kid was going to hold on to him and take him away from his girls. I got the Fordson Major Diesel that was close buy and tied him to the drawbar and lead him to the barn with that. I did succeed but never tried and never will try to do anything like that again. He never give us any trouble after that but I sure learned what one was capable of doing.
I hauled a highlander bull, with long horns, for a guy last fall. Didn't really want to do it but told him I would open a close the door and that was it. He got him in the trailer and we took him to his farm and he had me drop him off in the pasture with some cows. He also had another bull already with them. I got in my truck and left. He stops by a few days later and said the two bulls got in a fight and he tried to break it up. He got gored in the leg and spend the night in the hospital. He's lucky he didn't get killed.
I'm just going to stick to dealing with a few Holstein steers that don't seem to get too excited about anything as long as there's feed in front of them. I'm too old to be dealing with that kind of crap. Don't want to end up like the 71 year old guy we talked about earlier today.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
