I moved mine back into a different pasture.
If I had a Bull like a Holstein Bull I'd have it in a Bull pen and bring the ladies to him.
I just think it's unsafe near the road Agree and then some !! NEVER trust a dairy bull, never..

Dairy bulls, a different story. Took some dairy husbandry classes in college and had to work with a few. Holstein and Guernsey. Meanest animals I was ever around. They would try to get if they could and were HUGE compared to beef bulls. And by "get you" I mean kill you. Horn stubs used as weapons, and they were wicked fast. They had a ring in their nose with 20 inches or so of drop chain......was the only way to control them.

Explains why the, a, make a mommy, pills for milk cows are so valuable. One old dairyman I trapped on really talked his up. Many generations of mild mannered, heavy producing, and so on. His cows came to see me often, He said curiosity and boredom. Holstine.

I hate Holsteins. Meanest bulls I’ve ever worked with. We used to move em one pen to another with loaders cause if you went in horseback you and your horse are gonna end up stomped into the dirt. Single wire electric fence is not enough, cause they’re dumb as a rock too. I wouldn’t even trust four strand electric to hold one of those if it really got on the fight.

Is he the kind of guy that might be open to some suggestions if you brought over some beers one evening and said “Hey, I’m a little concerned about your fencing situation for that bull over there”
Or is he the kind that’ll just get indignant and yell about how he’s been doin it that way for 40 years?

If 330 comes home drunk, his wife will make that bull look like puppy dog.
