Subject: RE: How do you handle bulls?



This is one of those times where everyone's situation is different, not only operation to operation, but second to second the status quo changes. If you can get a feel for your bulls and their pecking order before you get them corralled it helps a lot. We semen test 15-20 and even though we haven't had a wreck I'm with ya on being glad when it's done.

Usually we have two middle aged or older Bulls that can't decide who's tougher. Try to get the more aggressive one in the chute first, away from the other instigator. Sometimes there's a yearling who is just bent on raising a rucuss and gets everyone else hot and bothered, he's next. The big one that's been checked will usually just laugh him down and won't even engage the little guy. After that just watch for the ones squaring off, lowering their head and pawing the ground, they're next in line before they start trouble. This system has worked for me so far. Best of luck tomorrow and hope all their little swimmers pass the test.
