Bulls

Tough guys!

These are the power houses on the ranch.

We have several Angus bulls and a couple of Charolais bulls. This is their pen. They are rough on it. I should have taken pictures of the bent succor rod and gates that they bend when they get to "rough-housing" and I mean ROUGH.

We buy them when they are about 18 months old and keep them until they are 4 years old. After that, they get lazy and too big to do a good job. They are weighing in at 1800-2100 pounds each.

They aren't "mean" like the stereotype, but they do stand to be watched. They aren't the easiest to handle if they are alone but in a heard of cows they put their head down and walk down the road--most of the time.
