My brother’s FiL’s brother (he later bought 25,000 acres up midstate after they sold the ranch for big bucks/acre) was on the horse when it was gored

After that - they used Jeeps and dogs to round up that one herd

I dodged some nasty big Brahma’s moving them around at the Belle Glade auction - buyers need to see them well - a whip is not enough - you need to be fast - like in bullring or rodeo

Sounds like he had a close call from being gored himself.

My twins were in 4-H and raised sheep. It always amazed me to see the young girls, who raised steer, and the steer seemed so nice and gentle during the auction!

I know a lot about your experiences with horses, cattle, etc.

If you’d like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

Far be it from me to question to media, but this doesn't sound like coyotes. Of course if you could hike with a handgun in Canada, it wouldn't matter.

Was at the chutes of a sale barn in my youth watching a hand trying to load a Brahma bull into the tail end of a bull rack. It became necessary for him to clear a 6 foot fence to not be tromped in that last small section of alley.

That cured me of wanting to be a bull hauler. I have stuck with non-ambulatory cargo in my career.
