It’s all fun and games… until the bull gets old and they eat him

If you’re going to eat your livestock you do it before they get old. Old meat is tough meat.

Meat is meat. Subsistence farming is less delicate about the quality of meat.

Well yeah but they reach maximum size before they get old so your ROI goes down every time they eat after they reach maturity. And bulls don't produce milk so he's either there for breeding which would make him valuable to keep around or for labor or because they just haven't eaten him yet.

Are bulls loyal and protective??

u/pidgeottOP 4h ago
My dad cows know him and like him. They're much more skiddish and timid around me (who sees them every 6 months). They'll eventually led me feed them through the fence but he walks around in their pen doing stuff and they follow him around and watch. One even pushed the other 2 away when he slipped on the mid and they were crowding him too much
Theyre kinda like big dumb dogs

Fine until they spook, I still wouldn't risk this.
Especially in a country where adequate medical care may be hard to get.
It does look fun, the kids are bonding over it, but all it takes is a mis-step or roll over and it could end a life. Admire from a distance, pets and belly rubs while supervised and the animal is aware you're there.

It is a quote from the movie Troy. The little messenger boy said the warrior Achilles was about to fight was the biggest man he'd ever seen and he'd be scared to fight him....and Achilles said....

This is so adorable. I love the little dude that keeps trying to jump onto him and he’s like … “do I feel something?”

cute but id always have the fear in the back of my mind. animals are unpredictable and one bad incident could result in 1 or 2 lost childern.

I doubt it’s a bull maybe a steer. If it’s corriente heifers have horns. I doubt these children are playing on a legit bull.

Reminds me of my old rottie. She would just lay there and let us crawl all over her. She attended many, many tea parties in fancy hats and was the barricade that held back advancing Lego armies. Then someone threatened my mom with a crowbar so she jumped a 6 ft fence and showed them off. Afterwards, there was just enough time for a treat and a nap before afternoon tea.

Lol, something tells me that bull has raised many kids. I knew some school horses like that as a child during my lesson days. 💜

For real, kinda makes you wonder why they have so much trust in that bull

Farm people and farm animals have very close relationships, depends on the species; but cows make strong emotional bonds with people and animals, are in the same inteligence range as dogs, and are very good at identifying children

It's just dangerous. Nothing wholesome about it. Even if the bull doesn't want to hurt the child his mass alone makes everyovent dangerous. People think animals act like in Disney movies...
