Subject: RE: How do you handle bulls?


Driftless SW Wisconsin

How about putting a couple portable bunks inside the corral (so there is plenty of space for each bull) a few days ahead of time and put out some sweet feed.  Mine even see me carrying a white bucket and they come to the bunks.  These are ones that have been together all winter and know each other with an age difference.  Makes it a lot easier when they come to you rather than trying to herd them into a spot they don't want to go.

Put out enough sweet feed so they are more occupied eating the treat than charging you while all of them get into the corral then close the gate.

Probably not possible in all situations but for a few bulls, training to a sweet tooth makes life a lot easier and safer. Starting with docile bull genetics and bulls that have been handled gently helps.

Good luck tomorrow.
