The husband went over and got him. On the way home, he called to tell me what he was bring back. Our friend said the bull wasn't very bad to handle and should work great for us.
When the husband pulled in, I went out to see what we got. Holy Moly! This bull was bashing the trailer and running back and forth. Not to bad to handle!! But I had to put it in perspective, the stock contractor that let us borrow the bull usually has very hot stock. So I guess bashing the side of the trailer and not busting the gate down, is considered not to bad to handle! We managed to get him unloaded and settled into a pen.
Notice the strip of hair missin' from his nose. He was like that before we got him. Guess he was bashin' other stuff besides our trailer!
He did NOT like me standing outside his pen. He would paw the ground and charge at me.
He didn't like having his picture taken either. Geez!
We let him settle for a day in the pen. Then turned him out with the heifers in the pasture. I'm not use to having something mean on the place. I can't just walk up to the heifers and feed them out of my hand now. At least I don't feel as comfortable doin' it now. I keep an eye on our bulls when I am out with them but they aren't usually gonna run me over just for the fun of it. So it will take some gettin' used to having him out there. I bet the husband I could have him eating out of my hand pretty soon though. We'll see.

Kit, that son of a gun looks awful mean to me, so don't go taking any chances, ya hear?! If he bangs off the hair on his own nose, no telling what he'd do to you!
Oh, dear, be careful.....please...
OH what a beauty! What is he?
And yes you and the husband be careful!!!
I've seen that look lots of times at work; you better be wearing running shoes around him!
He is a bit scary looking, I definitely wouldn't ever turn my back on him
ooohhh girls like tuff guys with scars!!!!!!
he was just showin' off for his new girls!!!!!
he is still cute!!!!!!!
good luck.....and be careful!!!!!
oh.....what's his name?!?!?!!?
Heads up girl , you want to be wide awake with a dude like that ! Be careful !
eeeekkk! He's beautiful, but dang, be careful. He looks like he's not foolin'
Yikes, don't get yourself gored by that sucker.
Oh my!! I bet he is a lady killer!! Oh, that didn't sound right. I bet he is good with the ladies!! There we go!! We have a black bull named Diablo!! That would be a good name for him!! It was great you are able to borrow him!!
What is his name? He looks pretty tough! :) Glad you got a hold of a good one for your heifers...and that you didn't have too many dents in your trailer! ;)
I love that PG asks what his name is! Ha ha! Looks like Tuff to me! Be careful- he has 'The Look!"
I wouldn't get near that thing. He doesn't look like the kind of guy, who can be tamed. Just let him do his thing and then send him back!
Once he sows his oats I bet he will be a more likable chap, but then again not..:-)
He looks like he needs a matador to play with!! I hope he's nice to the girls. :)
I got chased a lot by bulls growing up. They can be very mean!
Once I was on my pony and was chased by a bull in the field It was scary!
Oh there is not playing around with him, he is all business! Great looking bull though
Holy Crap Kit, don't be wearing any capes in the pasture with him around. You should name him Fluffy or Muffin or Tinker. Is there a process for naming bad boys like him, like a stage name?
Wow, he does look a little on the menacing side!! how long will you guys have to keep him?
I'd lay money on you, Wifey.. given enough time, you probably could tame anything...even "Ole Bad to the Bone" there. But do you want to give him back all wimpy abd sweet? ha! ha!
We have a bull that looks just like that. He's mean too! I've always been scared to go in the field with the bulls, for some reason we've always had one or two mean ones!
