    Bulls are interesting creatures. My late in-laws had a neighbor with a very aggressive bull, who would rush the fence when anyone came near. Then one day, we see our five-year-old daughter, sitting by the fence reading out loud. Then we saw the bull, down on the ground, leaning his head toward our daughter, apparently enthralled. In subsequent visits, the bull would do a happy dance when he saw our daughter, and turned into a one-ton puppy.

    ​@@PlasmicAngel-iw1rw Monday-morning quarterbacking much? Have you ever asked a bull to politely present his hooves to inspect them? The farmer, who you're accusing of neglect with no basis, very likely didn't know the bull had a hoof problem until he started limping, and then he got his farrier out to look at him as soon as he could. I had two horses that developed abscesses several times a year, minimum. I knew they had an abscess when they started limping, but sometimes I couldn't get my farrier out for a week because he already had full barns scheduled. He'd swing by on his way past sometimes, but I was out of luck if he was booked solid for a week in the opposite direction. You have no clue what the circumstances are behind this bull's lameness or how well he's maintained. Since a bull is a very important asset to a dairy farm, I'm guessing no expense is spared on his care. Your assumption that he's neglected makes you sound foolish and tells everyone that you have no clue about large livestock. Side note - I'm not sure if cow trimmers call themselves farriers or if the term farrier is even used in Scotland. In the US, a farrier trims and shoes horses. I welcome input from anyone who isn't completely ignorant and just slinging baseless accusations from behind the keyboard.

My guy also got bounced off the ceiling of the barn by a cow and ended up in ICU bleeding from every hole in his head. The Vet said a smaller man (6'2" as a teenager) would have been killed. And thus ended the dream of becoming a large animal veterinarian! Safety first guys, always!

    Worked on a dairy farm during my high school days (‘70-‘74) that was across the street from the trailer park I lived in. Boy did I get dirty and stinky but I loved every minute. We had 2-3 bulls in each feed lot and once in a while we would have to help the farmer and the vet to try and corral these huge beasts. Once that was done the vet turned to and did what had to be done. I gained a lot of respect for the bulls but also for the cows. When the cows that were pregnant were moved to the calving pasture, they had a tendency to become a little testy. One of my friends one night thought it might be a good idea to go into the calving pasture and try to pet a calf while the mom was adult 10 ft. away. I tried to warn him but he thought he was quicker than that “big fat cow”. He learned that “big fat cows” can run real fast while protecting their calves. He barely made it under the fence when that cow stopped short of the fence. He never doubted me again. That about 50 or so years ago and I still love the smells of the dairy and LOVE rodeo. God bless Chris LeDoux! (and cows!)

    The very last herd animal you can trust, is one sporting a full set of testicles. Fifty years on, I still carry the scars a stubborn stallion decided to give me. Even an experienced dairy farmer can end up on his back, with a usually cooperative bull kneeling on him, to better work him over with his poll. Thankfully the one I witnessed, survived. The caution Graham is showing, is based on hard earned experience.

An animal can't appreciate that what you're doing will make him/her feel better - they only know it hurts & they don't want you to touch it. You do such an amazing job under such trying circumstances! Love from a Canadian subscriber.
