Bull

WOW!

I saw the biggest bull I have ever seen in my life today. And I'm not stranger to Bulls!

My grandpa had a dairy farm and I had to help out at times. NO I never tried to milk the bull (I've always known the difference) he was there, in a seperate pasture and we knew enough to leave him the hell alone.

He was big - but not like this one!!

Even raised beef cattle for a while. Buy the steers when they were 3 or 4 days old - bottle feed them, play with them (fun little critters, like really big dogs, but more clumsy) them bucket break them. You get them in the spring and by fall they would be ready to go in with the big boys. But we always butchered at about 1300 lbs.

THIS DUDE TODAY WAS A MONSTER!! I nearly drove off the road gawkin' at him.

Holy Cow. wait - maybe in this instance it should be Sacred Steer. Bonevolent Bodine. Anyway you say it....damn that dude was huge!!

*just thought I'd share a bit of my daily commute with y'all!

Heh... I'll leave it alone. ;)

Could have been a Brangus-Brahma/Angus cross. The first time I saw one was in Texas, and I thought the damn thing was fake! Something about the mix makes for some very large animals!

Something about this post just really makes me giggle, maybe it's the fact taht you say you've never tried to milk a bull, but I have the mental image of you trying to do just that.

All I can think of are all of those poor cows, I am sure they are hiding.
