Beware of the Bull - The quick thinking of one man's kids saved his life

[@chrisblenkinsopp8588]

An old farmer once told me that the two most dangerous things on a farm were a quiet bull and an unloaded gun...

[@piratepete4322]

Well said Chris

[@davidsmith663]

Never, ever, trust any bull. They can turn with no warning. I got had in a bull pen with no escape route (thank you health and safety for passing that) and had to keep kicking him in the nose for longer than I wanted until a mate came in with a pole and held him back while I crawled out. I got away with major bruising. Well done to these lads for their actions.

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Lovely family! Glad they're all alright!

Scary. You boys are brave to save Dad. God was with you for sure.

[@iguessyoufoundme6978]

God was not with them, the sons saved the day, don't steal their victory and hand it to a being which didn't do anything, god should have never allowed it to happen in the first place if he really was with them

I am glad that the boy's father was able to be saved by his son's quick thinking. Never trust a bull!

[@joshjansen8429]

a friend of ours was nearly killed by one of his bulls when it was crushing him into a fence. my dad had his hand crushed by one of ours but thankfully he didn't sustain any serious injuries. they are dangerous animals and you can never trust one or turn your back on one no matter how dosile it may seem.

[@patrickobrien8851]

This is a Cork accent, so that's where it occurred. Brave actions on the part of them all - they kept their heads, which is hard to do in situations like this. I worked on a farm when I was young, and was in a couple of situations like this, and it's scary as hell. As one of the sons said, on a different day it might have been a much different outcome.

[@sueballenger2300]

[@mayochickenman4890]

Ara in West we still have our strong accents, but I do know that in some areas people's accents have gone from Irish and by their county to sounding like a yank. Tis shocking to see

[@davideats9255]

Sounds like everybody did their part to save the arses of the other one!

[@ShermanT.Potter]

This could happen to any cattle farmer. If you have a bull that usually isn't wild, hardly any of us take the proper precautions to NEVER be in harms way. If I had a bull I "trusted" that I needed to move I would do what he did. Side note, when you have cattle in a pasture that you're bringing into a corral for transport back to the feedlot, some of the pasture can be inaccessible to vehicles, due to steep grades, creeks, heavy vegetation, etc., you have to go on foot and you can be far away from any fence. And most of the time you're moving cow/calf pairs, every once in a while the cow doesn't take kindly to that. But they need to move, so you move them. When they calve in the lot prior to being put out on pasture, if we deem getting close to her on foot unsafe we use the skidloader to push them, not contacting her with the skidloader of course, simply guiding her. Separating pairs temporarily for transport to the pasture, your only defense is a nearby fence and how fast you can run. :) Some cows just watch as you move their calf around, others want to charge you through a gate before even entering the pen with the pair. With infinite possibilities inbetween. Every cow needs to be assessed individually, and you can definitely assess wrong.

[@gallopingg1]

good boys, sons to be very proud of,and yes i could understand every word they said, and no i'm not Irish and i'm also not rude when making comments to videos.

I had to concentrate very hard to understand what the guys said, I got about 50%, subtitles would have been helpful. It's not an insult, it's done on the TV all the time, KZbin is international.

[@kalikaren2400]

Our language would be boring if we all spoke exactly alike. I love hearing these “accents”. People who are from Australia, the Americas, and the British Isles all add color to our language. And those who have a different primary language add even more color. You have to listen a little harder to catch what they are saying, but it is worth it and you will catch on. I don’t think I have an accent, but I’m sure if I went somewhere else people would tell me I have an accent. Thanks to these videos I know what my ancestors sounded like.

[@lfcgo7]

F off with the term British isles

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

My grandfather was bringing in the milk cows for the evening milking and his short horn bull knocked him down and mauled him. He survived but the bull did not.

[@brianmurphy8892]

there was a time when every farm in Ireland had a dog even a sheepdog - dis is a great case for a sheepdog or any dog to help for moving cattle/ or a bull. qed.?

[@oppamaclare]

You never make a pet of a bull. That's always a big mistake. I was in a pen one day with a big bull and a younger neighbour was laughing at the way I was standing back from him but had my eyes locked on him. "Are you afraid of him?" he laughed. I had to explain at length how you only need to get caught out once. I've heard enough horror stories. I've an older neighbour who is terrified of bulls. He was attacked, but unhurt by one when he was very young.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

What language is that?

[@alistairclement4239]

english

[@lawrencefure2102]

This can be avoided by artificial breeding your cows. There are far fewer instances of being gored by a bull in the U.S since the dairy farmers switch to A.I.

[@marks_sparks1]

lawrence fure there is valid arguments for AI (including safety) and it's used a lot by farmers in Ireland. However, it is costly if a large herd needs to be serviced, and a farmer may miss a cow in heat if the herd is spread out over a large area. Also during the foot and mouth crisis on 2001, an AI man may not be able to enter the farm.

[@MrT79shakeshake]

Yeah but think of the cows they want some action and not just prick teasing lol

[@michaelmcferran4425]

lawrence fure Yes ai great but it's expansive and that's just not the way Irish farmers do it

[@winifredthompson2488]

I remember many years ago when I was in my mid twenties, now that is 50 years ago, I went with a friend of mine who was a large farmer and kept bulls and knew how to handle them. We drove to the house where the gentleman had a herdaford bull for sale. The man brought out the bull, approx. A year old, a very nice young bull, well marked good red colour, with good conformation, He walked the bull up and down the yard, and stood him up so we could get a good look at him, the bull nozzled the man and licked him, the gentleman said to my friend David, Did you every see a quieter calf or better natured. My friend didn't speak for a minute and then said to the man I might have bought him from you if I hadn't seen him do that, then he said to him, My good man, did you not know, the bull that will LICK you is the bull that will kill you. We left, and went home, a fortnight later that bull turned on the man in his own yard put him against the wall and killed him. I never forgot those words. Another remark I heard him make, was Always get someone else to,put the ring in the bulls nose, someone that won't be handling him. The bull can remember the person that hurt him, and wait his chance. Greetings from Northern Ireland.

[@totaltwit]

I never knew that >>"the bull that will LICK you is the bull that will kill you" - thanks for the warning. Perhaps as an alternative maybe, the farmer just dropped his guard thinking the bull was docile, but as said, bulls change mood fast and maybe that's the cause, Mr Bull just woke up in a bad mood that day. I'm thinking cattle do remember humans, I've seen it myself, for how long and for what I'm not sure, it's fun to investigate.

[@winifredthompson2488]

totaltwit I remember when I used to ride for many large horse dealers in Ireland, now when I speak of horse dealers i am speaking of very decent men who,made their living at buying and selling horses . One elderly gentleman who,was a very good show judge and bought and sold horses for his living, always said that he preferred the young horse that would have got out of his road when he was breaking a young horse, he always said that horse was far easier to break than the horse that was always fluster on over you. I understood what he ment, the horse that had respect for you, was the easiest horse to break. Maybe this is the same with bulls, if a bull had no respect for you, but if that wee tiny bit of advice will save somebody's life it 8s worth putting it out. How many times have you gone to,a farm, and they will tell you, the bull is very quiet he wouldn't hurt anyone. Please people out there, NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF A BULL, OR A STALLION HORSE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR MIND. More people killed here with bulls on Irish farms, than in other accidents. It's too late looking for an escape root if you are under a bulls head, I remember the old gentleman I'm spoke of always kept a running chain on a bull, around the horns and through the ring on the bulls nose, and many times in his lifetime he said that chain saved his life . The chain was normally about 25 feet long. He always said to,get a person who was not going to be the bulls handler or family to put the ring in his nose. This was a very wise man I am speaking about, with a lifetimes experience keeping bulls and stallion horses. Greetings from Northern Ireland.
