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.

When Chinese firecrackers did not get our 3 fed out Brahma steers into the corral/feedlot chute/ramp and up into the truck that finally took them to the custom butcher shop -

We got old Gray Lady - an elderly but tough Appaloosa Walking Horse mare - and she bared her long teeth and those 3 fat Brahmas were on the truck in a flash

I saw a big Brahma bull get his front legs over the top welded rai heavy steel pipe pit fencing at the Davie Auction - the gray haired Miami area buyers in the front row dropped their Havanas and scattered

My brother’s Brahma bull could clear a 6’ hogwire fence with 4 strands of heavy tight barbed wire on top and 5’ wide ditch on the other side

It sure tried to kill me several times

You never see Brahma or Brangus bulls in bullfight rings

Bullfighters do not like
to commit suicide
