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.

Like people - cattle can vary in temperament

My brother’s championship Brahma bull was a killer - after he was not being trained, walked, shown

A Brahma steer just a bit younger - was rough at first - soon thought he was a pet or a horse

The most dangerous time was to turn your back on 3 feedlot Brahma steers after pumping some water in the tank

It smart to think of all animals as gators

I fought a big bull gator and won - but I could have lost too

Never be surprised by what they might do next

I sure do not miss finding cougar tracks following ours in the morning
