3/22/2006: Bull attack, duck! - Page 2

jojo · 03-22-2006, 07:05 PM

i can't even look at the bull without getting nervous! seriously. we have purebred limousin and i'm telling you, those things are HUGE and STRONG. he crumpled a steel gate last week like it was made of hanger wire.
uhhh...i'm embarrassed to ask, but since none of you know me: our bull has an extremely long scrotum hanging down, and i wonder if they tie these guys up like they do for rodeos to make them mad?

That was me who recently sent the "bull" image to you, Undertoad. Sorry, I should have given my cellar handle in the email.

No, they are raised out away from people, so they only see a person occasionally and always on horseback.

When they're suddenly confronted with the confusion of the city, they are freaked out. They mostly just run over people trying to stay with the other bulls but a person on foot looks like a doable foe if they get in the way.......

.....and they're right.

Ok - I don't get to see things like cows & horses very often, so I am not familiar with the odd stuff people do to them. This is the first time I've heard about tying a bull's balls up.

Weird.

Well you learn something new every day.

I remember being amazed when I first heard how they got normally placid horses to turn into bucking broncos. They buck like crazy not so much to get the rider off, but to try to get the belt squeezing their abdomen off. Doesn't cause them physical harm though. Just a little discomfort for our amusement. So it's OK.

edited for clarity.

If you were a small kid being chased by a goose you'd wish it was a duck! Ducks are much less agressive.

Having been chased by more than one goose over the years - I came up with a way to stop agressive geese without hurting them

Turn to face them - spread your arms out full width just above should height, and HISS back at them

The STOP, and fast - you can almost hear them saying "Uh Oh - that is one REALLY big Goose"

Are you quite sure? I've never seen one with horns like that.

Hi! Yeah, a bit late, but that's okay.

With a track record of 9 (now 10) posts since 2002, I'm pretty much the epitome of a lurker.
