Moving Bulls

J has 8 different bulls.  During breeding season there is always some shuffling around to do.  He had put a young one out with the cows but he started limping after just a few days.  That meant sorting another one out of the bull lot to take to the cows.  Otoelene was called into service on that one.  The bull lot is very rough, steep, trees, gullies.  Plus, the one J wanted was submissive to two others in the lot.  At one point, the bull was trying to cut back around the water tank, Otoelene and I came around the other way and were face to face with him.  He tried butting Otoelene in the chest but she didn't budge.  My rein slapping and yelling finally got him to turn around and we got him out.
 That left the lame bull to get back in.
 Nothing near as dramatic here.
Otoelene does love her cattle work.

  1. That would have definitely been a trying and dangerous job with out Otoelene. Nice work.
