[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1826012, member: 25884"] Put the friendliest steer you have in with him... Let him see that you are no threat to him. See that you are a good guy, feeding etc... Bulls should NEVER be petted from the front of the head... Rub his neck, back, between his ears... where ever... FROM THE SIDE...... it is a dominance thing with a bull... They don't have to be mean it just is a bull thing to always go at anyone / anything with their head first... Why show a bull??? And is this for purebred shows or other shows? Many places do not allow a bull to be shown after a certain age by 4-H or FFA or other groups... because a kid can't stop them if they take a notion... because of hormones... a steer is not stopable if they really want to "go" ... but they are not dealing with raging bull hormones... And every show that I have seen, read about, requires a nose ring after a certain age... I don't show... so am not up on the particulars... but a nose ring is about the only hope anyone has to stop a bull that takes a notion for any reason..... Not trying to be negative.... but reasonable and concerned for safety. We have 6-10 bulls on the farm for breeding and I can load just about any one I want and deal with them out to pastures and such... so I have a little experience.... there are many on here with alot more experience... but a kid and a bull can be a "not so good" thing...
