That obviously isn’t the peaceful one you could ride on, lol.

LOL!
Noooooo!
My brother’s bull was purchased at a Brahma ranch in Palm Beach County - and my brother trained him for cattle shows - he won at Belle Glade and also was Junior Champion Brahma Bull at the Florida State Fair in Tampa - but he was a nasty killer and would he hook you with a horn in the back in a heartbeat
But the Brahma steer I trained and and was able to ride was bought at my brother’s future FiL’s ranch at 6 months old
- I tied him up back at the farm under cover at back of our feedout corral - giving him water and feed - the young steer proceeded to wrap the rope around me and test his skull on my legs -
Not a “good thing”
So I let the steer taste my steel-toed engineer boots - before he crippled me
The next day that young Brahma steer was as tame and hungry as a Cocker Spaniel you took home from an animal shelter
He soon thought he was a horse as he watched us training and riding quarter horses
He would run to the corral and wait for me to hop on his back and grab one of his big floppy ears - and we would take off and round up the cattle and horses for feeding
He grew into a huge Brahma steer and we sold him at the Davie auction to a rancher named Dewey Hawkins who saw me get on him in the auction pen outside - and bought him for a pet for his grandkids and kept him at his home on South Dixie Highway - he had the free run of Dewey Hawkins fenced in lawn at his ranch
Years later I stopped by there and whistled - He came right over and I climbed right on his back
By then he was much bigger than any Brahma bull you ever saw in a rodeo
Yet he was still gentle and still thought he was a horse!

Another wild tale from a former teenaged cowboy, gator killer, and shark wrangler!
