Cows in the 1200 to 1500 pound range and bulls over a full ton!<br /><br />My then wife hand raised a young bull - much like you are doing with Ben.<br /><br />This guy got to be about a year old and weight 1200-1400 pounds.<br /><br />One of the kids left a gate open and some of the herd got out of the pasture and was milling around the house.<br /><br />Momma got a feed bucket and some oats to lure the several cows/calves and this young bull back through the gate.<br /><br />The cows and their calves were easy. The young bull, not so much.<br /><br />As she was trying to entice him back into the pasture she got too close - thinking him tame becasue she'd raised him by hand - he wasn't.<br /><br />He raised his head and sent this 200lb woman flying through the air to land flat on her back more than 10 feet away!<br /><br />No broken bones - luckily - but sure was bruised - body and ego.<br /><br />So John, please be super aware around Ben - especially because he'll have some prodigious horns soon and I'd hate to read about your grand experiment coming to an end on the end of a horn.<br /><br />No complacency if you don't mind.
