So........I was about 10 or thereabouts, and was at my favorite uncle's.

He and I were taking care of the pigs who were housed in the pasture.

Stock cows, including the Charolais bull, got curious, and came over to see what we were doing.

Since I was known to the herd, since one job was to bring in the milkers morning and night.........I walked over and put my arm around the bull's neck.........and was petting him.

He was a good ol' boy........I had done it several times before............to me he seemed like a big lab.

Then my uncle noticed what I was doing............hollered for me to get back with him ASAP..........and when I did, that extremely mild mannered man, who was built like a Charolais bull, threw a tirade of things at me that he would do to me if I ever did that again...........one of those items would be to render me to never sire children.

The bull never scared me.............but my uncle did.

That was the only time in my life I ever saw that man get that wound up.
