I have a picture of the Sooner daughter of Duncan Belle that’s pretty amazing. Did you ever work with Craig Johnson I think his last name was?
This is a lot older cow. By the time I get the picture oriented correctly it’s cropped
Might still guess who she is. Well it is labeled on top. Just one I had in my phone. Friend of mine has a heifer that goes back to Topsy she says. So I looked up some pictures.
I hate to think what it took to get that bull out of that gap! A fresh 2 year old usually was the one I had to get out of something like that! Some of them would try to go anywhere they could get their head to fit! They could just about do just exactly that…….until the hips caught. Then the last ribs prevent backing up!
We bought a bull named Favorite Colonel as a yearling and bred a bunch of heifers to him and then a few cows along and were pretty pleased with the daughters so he stayed around in a pen by the dairy. He had been hand raised and was calm but you had to just back off and let him take time sometimes. Typical of a hand raised bull. Had semen frozen, so he should have really never come back to the farm, but he did.
He stayed around until he was old. He could still serve a cow, very deliberately though. He was showing his age, stifles and hips were getting arthritic, so it was time to go. He was balking about going to the loading/breeding pen and I got too close to him. He got a step on me and tossed me into the air. Felt like a tennis ball going up and came down a few yards away. When I came down I was scuffling getting out of the way but he had lost interest in me. I was just a pesky fly to him.
