Generally the bulls this year have been really good, with the one exception of this one who is a bit on the grumpy side

  1. The homicidal tendencies of the Jersey Bull are notorious here in the UK. It is very unusual for a dairy farmer to keep a bull. In fact this danger to the cow man or farmer was the reason that, prior to the widespread use of AI
    Jersey cows milk sold for a serious premium. To a lesser degree it still has extra value.

  2. Agreed about Jersey bulls!! Ours never would behave until he had a 10 ft chain draped "around his horns, after dehorning" to keep him from charging. He eventually went to slaughter b/c the chain became almost embedded behind his horns due to stepping on it so often when he began a charge!! Tried the chain to a ring in his nose once. Did not last!! Loved that Jersey mild and cream!!

  3. I grew up with Hereford bulls. And that was a lot of bulls. From when I could walk, I was safe to walk through the corral. The neighbors had herefords and there were NEVER incidents.

  4. Not all Jersey bulls are bad .
    Our worst one was safe when you were on foot . He did not like wheels .
    Pushed the 80Hp Jd around and threw bikes into swamp . But walk in with a stick and move him no,trouble. Would have been 8 or 9 when we got rid of him . Our current old fellow in the winter time stand there watching gate into section for daughters to come and feed him his hay over fence . I have no issues or worries about going into paddock with him or the 3 young ones are no issue . Kiwi Jersey farmer somewhere near Dannevirke

  5. I grew up around beef cattle, Herfords, Angus, Charolais, occasional Brahma. I remember leading a huge Herford bull around the fairgrounds when I was in kindergarten. When I went away to Ag School I learned dairy bulls were much more dangerous. Might explain why I don't remember seeing any dairy bulls in the local pastures with the Holstein cows.

  6. Andrew – A funny true story. My sister's family was showing their Jerseys at our State Fair. Two men approached my sister and said, "We understand that jersey bulls are the meanest bulls." "Yes" she said. "Do you think they are mean because their testrone is so high." She answered – "No, those bulls are mean cause they're short ! " The guys walked away laughing.

  7. When I was a kid and we had to do the milking, we had a dairy bull… he was mean and we were not exactly angels. We would tease him as we knew he would charge …always. We would get into his pasture, get him to chase you, then run like h—-, then jump over the gate. Our fathers decided perhaps one of us was gonna get killed, so he was down the road.?‍♀️

  8. Wow. I read many of the comments, I had no idea that Jersey bulls were so notoriously treacherous! Jerseys are my favorite dairy breed, and every cow I've met was docile. But come to think of it, I've never met a Jersey bull.

  9. I can still smell the barn. It has been quite a few years, and I thank and appreciate the dairy farmers across the world. A nice presentation.
    I am seventy five, and remember the neighbor coming out to the pasture to get the cows, when I was around four. Les was carrying a three tine pitch fork as a defensive tool against his Jersey bull. He was pawing and bellowing, while keeping his distance.
    The Charolais bulls can get a good place on the bad bull list.

  10. Most dangerous bull of them all, the fact their smaller and lighter makes them more agile and more dangerous, apart from the bulls been cross and dangerous, don't like the jersey breed atal, the cows are cranky too and kick the most out of any breed in the parlour

  11. Grew up on a dairy farm and the coba select sires truck came to our farm monthly, I remember asking the man , what's your meanest bull out of all the breeds , he said without hesitation, Jersey bulls

  12. Jersey cows are so sweet but the bulls are pure assholes! The meanest of all dairy bulls. Friend of mine had 4 Jersey cows & she ALWAYS used AI for breeding because she bred to Jersey bulls. Told me she'd never have a Jersey Bull on the place. Said they were so mean you couldn't even get close enough to feed them without them ramming the fence trying to kill you. She said her Da had a Jersey bull when she was growing up. Voice of experience.

  13. Holstein bulls will kill you if you give them even a flicker of a chance. One farmer near us was killed when his Holstein bull pinned him in the barn. The bull crushed him with his head with no horns. I guess every bone in his upper body was broke.

  14. I'm glad I only had to deal with Holstein bulls then. When I went in the pump house he was a quarter mile down the creek. Just as I walked out I heard him waiting for me to come out. Half hour before I could get to my truck and he added a few more dents to the door and fender.. I was using my tractor to herd one in the lots. He got his head down and in the bucket. Started pushing me back with my wheels spinning. But the most dangerous was a old crazy eyed range cow with her calf . My partner was supposed to guard my back while I tagged and medicated the calf. She ran over-the-top of him and send me tumbling. We managed to drag the calf into the back of the truck and shut the tail gate. That bad baitch jumped that tail gate played with us for while before we could jump over the side. But she was a good momma

  15. I had a bull that would block the gate to the holding pen . If any were already in there he would run them out . I love Jersey cows but wouldn't say Jersey cows are the calmest . They are probably the smartest breed . They are most aware of where you are and what you are doing . That is a dangerous advantage for a bull with aggressive intentions .

  16. I've a friend that buys 25 baby Jersey bulls to raise as grass fed beef from a dairyman in Idaho. These bulls aren't cut. He picks them up at a few weeks old. He said they're very dangerous. Opposite of the Jersey cows.

  17. We have Angus, SimAngus, and a purebred Beefmaster for bulls. I'm of the opinion that you don't want to turn your back on any including the more alpha cows. They can hurt you and not even mean to do it. I have 8 (4 are heifers) that are my absolute best friends. On days when they go in heat, I know one of them that will cover everything standing including myself? *If I am attending to another of the girls with my back to her, she will try to jump me. I think she is just about broke of doing it.. but I am far more scared of a >1000-lbs heifer landing on top of me than anything one of our bulls might do. I think they can smell fear. Bulls especially. If you are not intimidated, mine are all respectful. It is in their blood to pick on weak minded individuals… regardless of species. It is literally from where the word BULLY comes. The scent of fear communicates an invitation to them- That they can rest at ease their own fear by simply displaying dominant behavior.. and so they act accordingly. As for the ones with the highest docility ratings in epds, those animals are born fearless. They never display dominant behavior- even if they smell the chance. They haven't any need. That added docility is an excellent trait.

  18. Our bull Solomon jr. Is usually pretty mello. I watch him close and the other day you could tell he was ina mood. He lifted one side of the tractor off tbe ground. I was the ground guy so tbat day I kept the tractor between us.

  19. All dairy bulls are more dangerous than beef breed bulls. My father (a famer) used to say Channel Island bulls are the worst.

    You are right to be cautious around him. I noticed he was inflating his body and arching his back upwards to make himself look bigger. When they do that and drop their heads making that groaning sound stood sideways on to you they are sizing you up. He was doing that when he was pawing the ground in the field.

  20. I believe that the reason dairy bulls are more hostile than beef bulls all comes down to one factor; their upbringing.
    Whereas beef breeds such as Herefords, Angus etc are raised by their mothers for a few mothers, dairy bulls such as Jerseys and Holsteins are usually raised by humans and spend more time around humans. Hence why more bull attacks are dairy breeds.

  21. I have noticed less docility in dairy bulls also. My grandparents kept jerseys for personal dairy production. Grandmah kept her children and the neighborhood in milk and butter. My uncle raised beef cattle. The Hereford bulls were virtually pets in comparison to Jersey and Holstein bulls.

  22. I am 62. As a small child I grew up listening to my father tell me if all things farm related. He was born into the great depression and had so much knowledge and experience. He always said that Jersey bulls were Never to be trusted, not to turn your back and never cross a pasture with a Jersey bull. You might can get by with other breeds, though no bull is a sure thing. Except Jerseys. They are Surely dangerous. Always
