Worked as a hired hand on a dairy farm for 7yrs while in high school and college and the fastest I’ve ever moved in my life was when the bull in the heifer pen went through a 10ft wrought iron fence after me….I ended up diving in the round bale feeder and he pushed it up against the fence and I hopped over. Been in the pen 100 times before with no problems just one day he’s in a mood.

[@serasizumi2830]

Crazy part is any male(usually but sometimes the females can start fighting with you) livestock can suddenly turn aggressive from something as harmless looking as a drake(duck) or a rooster(chicken) can be powerful and dangerous. Not so much a drake due to lack of sharp bits unless you count their beaks which can do some damage if they get lucky. The scariest thing I have dealt with where 2 roosters. Those little bastards will body check you and use their spurs to lacerate you as they climb/hold on with their talons while at the same time pecking at you which hurts a lot and can do massive damage if you get hit in the eye or other sensitive body parts. Would rather be kicked by a spooked donkey in my head again then have 3+ roosters jump me a second time. My father sadly lost sight in one eye as a child due to a rooster and I learned how temperamental they can become at the drop of a hat.

[@morrigan908]

​@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.

[@tattooman3603]

If you've never been around bulls, even incredibly friendly ones, then you cannot understand the power they have. As a kid, we had a "tame" bull we could climb on, go between his legs, etc. and trying, one day to get him up an aisle to his pen for dehorning, he stopped and no amount of persuasion would get him moving. I took a small bucket of food and attempted to get past him. On the way, he simply decided to shift sideways and pushed me "through" the fence, breaking the fence boards and some of my ribs and arm in the process. For him, it was simply a subtle shift of his weight that wasn't anything out of the ordinary, and not with any intentional strain or exertion of power in it. For me, lol, it was weeks of recovery. Anyways, after that little incident, all of us realized the true extent of damage he could do unintentionally, so we were no longer allowed to play with him as kids. Probably a good idea.

[@duanesamuelson2256]

@tattooman3603 a long time ago I worked for a couple ranches. There were summer ranges up in mountains and winter range in the valley. The local ranchers maintained a trail between the 2 and next to the underpass at I-15 there was a holding corral was maintained. 6 wire. Someone left the gate open and the bull wandered in as we were moving past. Went to turn him back, however he decided to get back with his cows and walked with no change of pace through the fence breaking wires (and one of the 6" poles).

[@DembaiVT]

I wonder if maybe he had his eye on a coyote or something and wanted to keep you safe. I'm sorry you went through that.

[@duanesamuelson2256]

@MomeGnome regardless of your views of polling cattle, you are amorphatizing the bull. Putting a bull in a chute that actually occurs pretty often for a variety of reasons doesn't suddenly have a light bulb go off for the bull that they are going to cut my horns off. It's also no more painful for an adult than for a calf..its beliefs like yours which had 1000's of infants undergoing invasive surgeries without anthesia because they don't feel pain.

Cudos to this farmer, taking care of his cows hooves.

[@Midgimoo99]

I agree. If I heard correctly, the bull had been seen to two weeks prior to this session and his cows feet are trimmed as needed. Like with horses - no hoof no horse. Meaning they can't perform properly if they're lame.

[@sharonm3677]

Well, that kept my heart pumping at a faster rate! What a massive animal to be trimming but the farmer must be so extremely pleased that you did it. Beautiful bull. ❤❤

I started working last year at a local sale barn, and I've seen a few owly bulls and cows in the time I've been there. I have a lot of respect for our people back in the pens with those beasts, and this video is an excellent depiction of why.

Having worked with dairy herds and their bulls, people have no real appreciation as to how massively powerful and big they are. One bull that springs to mind was WALKABOUT he got that name because he stuck his head through a 12ft 5 bar gate and went walkabout with both gate posts hanging of each end of gate. Good days.😂😂😂

I remember there was one call Old Rock A Walking near Salisbury MD. they named a road after him

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

He is indeed a gentle giant. Confused and uncomfortable and even in pain and yet, showed zero aggression.

[@ronlee6590]

Seemed to me that big guy turned towards our good knight, causing him to smack him w/the stick & yell. He had to direct the bull away.

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

@@ronlee6590 That was confusion. If the bull was aggressive, he would been much more animated and possible even charged.

Honestly, even with all the pain he's obviously in and the general stress of being in a weird contraption as a prey animal, the bull was very gentle and lovely.

I can't believe how different cows and bulls are Cows are so gentle and sweet... Bulls are... Well Amazing job as always

[@GulliversMom]

Having grown up on a dairy, I've met a few cows that can be tempermental. In the '50s, we milked primarily Guernseys with a few Jerseys to provide some extra milk fat. My mother, ever mindful of the safety of her kids, didn't trust Jerseys. They could be short-tempered and with a healthy set of horns, quite aggressive. The temperment between the two breeds was remarkable. The larger Guernseys were much more docile, though my mother would not have any animal that was aggressive to her kids! She loved them all. When she found it impractical to continue such a small dairy, she cried when she sold the cows to a neighboring dairyman, knowing he was far more pragmatic about his livestock than we were about our very large pets. (She refused to keep a bull, for obvious reasons.)

[@eily_b]

Cows are not gentle and sweet generally. Cows with calves regularly trample people to death when these m_rons walk across alps with their dogs unleashed where farmers keep their cows. Cows can get really angry when they feel threatened by dogs and be very dangerours too. It's allowed to walk there BUT you have to follow the rules, close the gates behind you etc and not behave like a city person walking your dog. This is what sadly a lot of them do and then tragic events happen

[@seanburke997]

I have no idea what I'm watching when your videos pop up, but they are fascinating. It's obvious you care for these animals a great deal.

The bull reminds me of Vic, a huge Heford bull on a farm I worked on part time in Virginia, US. It was the biggest baby I had ever seen, When the US Army would give me time off, I worked on the farm and met Vic. He was a BIG snot nosed, scardy cat that was afraind of the truck and would try to cuddle up to anyone close by. Funny bull.

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!)

I grew up in a small town, it’s now 5000, but in the 70s it was in the low 3000s. I was considered a city girl because I lived a block from an alfalfa field! Lol. I’m still here, I love seeing the farm animals and have had to stop on the highway to let a flick of sheep go by more than once, and stop to let the dairy cows cross the road for milking. I’m all grown up now and still a city gal but now I’m 1/2 block from the alfalfa field!

@@huwhitecavebeast1972 in all my years I’ve never seen cows in a rodeo. Only bulls, and the event is called bull riding and not cow riding. There is calf roping and calf tie down but the calves are steers (males). Cows are females. Thank you for the comment.

[@sherrizanoli1398]

I commend the job you do, it can be quite dangerous. I was a nurse in a Level 1 Trauma Unit Hospital and I think one.of our worst injuries was a gentleman that was kicked by a cow. He had he in a milking stall and she kicked him. He was holding his arm when he came into the ER. His arm was up as he was cleaning her teets and there went a back foot. It ended up that she kicked him at an angle and shattered his shoulder socket and shoved his humerus( upper arm bone) into his lung. We had to take him straight to surgery and the surgeons pick shattered bone from his lung for 3 hours and that was before they fixed it all.

Fans might enjoy taking a look at Tilly's story. An Australian cattle dog bred to move bulls by biting their rear hocks, Tilly is now retired but still as tough as they come. Her owner, veteran Luke Evans and his wife Sam produce a fab KZbin channel called 'The Farm'. Loads of rescued and rehabilitated dogs and Tilly's journey through pain is eye popping. Luke is the best dog man out there, another true expert worth watching just like The Hoof GP. This Bull just reminded me of how brave and fearless the cattle dog is.

Hi, agree . Everybody who loves dogs should watch “ the farm” with Luke, Sam and their 20 rescue dogs!

[@Reptile_Gecko]

Wasn't there a world record holder dog (lifespan) in their 30s, that was an Australian cattle dog, that was an active cattle dog for around 20yrs, before retiring the next 10 or so? Also just shows how well a working line animal is off especially when kept doing something along the lines of their bred purpose, rather than kept as a pet stuck in the house or just going for the odd walk or hike.

[@Midgimoo99]

Will check it out. Cheers.
