This should teach him....

[DapperDan]

After spending the last several weekends building new net wire fence with two strands of barbed wire across the back of my dads place to keep his bull in, I have had enough and at my wits end..... I don’t understand why we always have to have a bull that won’t stay home. He has more then enough cows to keep him busy and hasn’t been in with them for long enough to breed all of them yet he can’t help himself to some strange....

Unfortunately this bull is a jumper and 5.5 foot of fence isn’t enough. Well, I’m not rebuilding, oh no.... just bought a solar powered fence charger. The biggest I could find. And although it will run 30 miles of fence, it will be pumping some heavy juice through 600 yards of fence. This just happens to be the fence that separates him and the fluzys across from him.... maybe it will hit him hard enough to take a little hide off his nose when he sticks his head into it...

We will be needing video of when he tests it out.

[Burnadell]

I hope he doesn't drag the boys when jumping it or your dad will need another bull to get the job done!

[DapperDan]

I’ll be sitting in the shade eating popcorn with the video ready to roll.

My buddy has a fighter. He will go through multiple well made 52 inch fences to fight a bull 2 properties away.......
He is gone soon...................

[Razrbk89]

I’d be getting rid of that guy. Seems like once they start that up, they don’t ever stop.

[Flint knapper]

Yep, would like to see the video also! Going to be some sparks flying! LOL

Yeah, I’m past tolerating that crap and my dad is too old to deal with it. In fact he’s in the hospital right now bc he got ran over by a 1500 pound brangus this morning. She came around the corner and he couldn’t get out of the way so he now has 4 broken ribs, two small hernias, and a partial collapse of his upper left lung: yeah, I’m over him dealing with stupid animals. Worse part is it wasn’t his cow. He was working cows with a friend of his and was at the wrong place at the wrong time and isn’t as fast getting out of the way as he used to be.

Yea my buddy is 73 and selling all his stock. Going to buy calfs and fatten them up and sell them. No more adults.........

[DapperDan]

I swear I’m going to grandpa on this one.... my grandfather had a way of getting his bull home when I was a kid. Took his cab-less tractor, a pocket full of shot shells, and a single shot 410. I swear it was a modern day rooster cogburn. He’d cuss, drive with one hand and empty a round across the bulls back with the other. Stop, reload, catch back up to the bull and repeat.... if the bull went into the thick stuff, he went in on his Appaloosa with rains in one hand and a 22 revolver in the other cussing and emptying the cylinder full of rat shot. Man it was a hoot as a kid bc I was in the middle of it.

When I was a kid Dad bought a nice looking cow from somebody that was tired of her I imagine. She was a fence walker. If she found a place she could get her head through, the body would follow. One Saturday he made me stay home and watch her to make sure she didn't break out. Of course I was pizzed because I had things to do. I opened an old Peters high brass shotgun shell and replaced the shot with ice cream salt, and I hid in the brush where she had gotten out last. When she stuck her head and one leg through, I put that load of salt in her chest from about 20 yards, then followed up with a load of 8s in her azz at about 30 yards. I had some fence to fix, but she never got out again. Her hind legs were stiff for a couple weeks, but I made out I didn't know why

In his defense, that fence was never gonna hold a bull that wanted out.

[Skinny]

Sorry to hear about your dad! Working cattle with the ole men is getting more dangerous for sure. My cousin and I try to do all the sorting, pushing, etc and let our dads work the chute and such. Not that working the chute is easy, it’s just takes the wild cow variable out of the equation.

Looks like you need to add a barb wire on top and one in the middle.

Yeah you need a 6 strand barbed wire fence pulled extra tight. That field fence just won’t cut it.

Sounds like you got a gender confused bull...

Have you asked him if he considers himself to be a bull?

[brokeno]

Sell him,,,, hamburgers won't jump a fence or even out of a pan.

How many cows? Electric could work. Or get a bigger bull to come in and kick his rear....If not send him to auction....

[bowtecmike]

I had to help my best friend and his Stepdad butcher a steer in a hurry one hot Sunday afternoon because my dumbass buddy thought peppering a steer with his .410 was a good lesson. He hit it in the flank, and made about a fist sized hole.
He said it was about 40 yards, but

pray for rain

[JDALEX]

My bull did the same thing, so my neighbor just bought him from me. He hasn’t been back on my side since!

I made a sling shot for my friend, Andy, and he would blister his bulls butt when he wanted to fight with the neighbor's bull. It got to where he could just clap his hands together to sound like that sling shot and his bull would take off running and get in th pens. He never shot him in the pens.

[texasdeerhunter]

That fence isn’t enough to keep a determined hog out, much less a 1500+lb bull. Maybe he is getting out because it’s too easy? Regardless, I hope your dad recovers soon, and video the bull hitting the hot wire haha

When it comes to cattle I'm only an expert at cooking and eating them. That being said, I could knock that fence down with a wet fart.

This looks exactly like my place looking from my cousins place. Even the brush pushing on the left! He had to put up electric fence to stop his from coming over. Problem is he only has a few head, 7-10 and I have 30 plus ladies so mine have more cycling than his.

[BrandonA]

I doubt that electric fence is gonna stop him.

[texan4ut]

Might as well load him and take him to the sale. Let him be somebody else problem. My dad had a couple like that over the years. That electric fence will probably just make him mad.

[bowhuntertex]

Once they figure out they can get across a fence an electric fence usually won't stop them. the only way to stop them is to get rid of them or build a 10' pipe fence with horse panel. Neighbors had a brahma bull that was always on our place once a month. He finally got tired of me calling and said to shoot him and he and his boys would come haul him off. Shot that sucker right between the eyes with a .270 and dropped him like a bad habit. Neighbor and his boys came with tractor and a truck load of coolers and butchered him right there in the pasture. Made for some good coyote hunting for a few nights.

[recar]

we all know the lure of the ladies is strong. that bull has a stash of little blue pills and a healthy desire to use them

[MountainMan]

First off, well done on getting some electric fence! I love mine. I use a 1.2 Joule charger and after a week of getting the snot zapped out of them, all my cows/steers/bulls/calves won't come within 2 feet of the wire.

Here's a pic of a few of mine. You can see the electric rope fence behind them.


Just make sure you use plenty of ground rods. That's the magic with electric fence. I use two 6 foot rods spaced out 10' and wired together. 3 rods would be even better.

Secondly, my grandfather taught me a lesson long ago about cattle that I still use to this day: Life is too short to deal with stupid cattle.

If I have any that won't stay home, won't respect a fence, or are just plain mean, they get the boot either to the sale barn or to freezer camp.

Good luck with the wandering bull and the first time he gets zapped, I promise you'll laugh a lot harder than you think you will.

[Mike Murphey]

I would suggest that when you get the electric fence put up, put some flagging on it for him to see it, get on a horse and move him slowly into the fence. It is better to teach them that way and not just let him find out on his own. sometimes when the cows hit an electric fence they will lurch forward and tear down the fence by mistake....if that happens you will see and make sure you repair it before he goes on through it.....that one or two jolts will make him remember what that fence does and why the flags are marking it he will stay away from it.....

[JeffK]

place the electric wire several feet from net fence also

[DapperDan]

Some good advice. I still wish Dad would have let me build the fence the way I wanted to. But he insisted on net wire....

A friend of mine had cross bread pitbull that he used to work stubborn cattle.

One day a neighbor called him to help get a bull back in a pasture and off the highway median. He asked the man was he sure he wanted the dog put on this registered bull.....the guy insisted.

So my friend lowered the tailgate and gave the command. The dog leaped out of the truck and ran full bore toward the bull......grabbing it by the nose pulling the head down and flipping him on the ground. Then just proceeded to tear the ever loving !@#$ out of that bull. The bull, bleeding like a stuck pig, tore arse back into the pasture and never got out again.

[Dustinb09]

Did this exact same thing with a hay pen at the house. Talked little brother into making sure it was working..... That thing will knock the snot out of you. I know because Karma got me and when i was hooking the gap back up it was a little loose and got my leg. Hit me so hard I went to the ground.

[Etxnoodler]

I’m in the sell the bull crowd. Not enough time in life to be chasing a wild cow around.

I think you found your cousin on here. Now go help him build a fence or find prettier cows.

3 year old angus that can be yours for $3500! Dad said he’s getting tired of him and will probably sell him soon. We shall see, he’s been known to change his mind.

Easy to get home. Feed sack and put him in the neighbors coral. Cut the cows and loaded him up. Easy peasy!

This won’t help with one that tears up a fence, but if you have a jumper, there is a solution. Put in a nose ring and a drag chain. He’ll quit jumping.
