TAMING A BULL
A source of frequent trouble is the danger of the herd sire becoming ugly. A bad tempered sire, unless controlled, to say the least, becomes a nuisance. Mahy a valuable animal has been sold or even slaughtered because his owner did not know how to manage him. A well - known Waikato farmer claims to have found an effective solution. He states: "I would just like to pass on to others a way I have of keeping the bull so he is not so dangerous. “Buy a chain long enough to reach from the bull’s ring to just in front of his hind feet when he holds his head level. He will soon learn to walk with the chain between the - front legs. Jf he starts to run the chain will wind around the front legs and he is foul immediately. This will not interfere with the bull working in any way, and he can be left running in the yard with the cows, and I believe will remove 95 per cent, of the danger. Chain links should be about tli# size of the chain on harrow or drill draw bar.”
