    It's that fighting bull type breed.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourada_%C3%A0_corda

    They have bullfights with horse and riders too.

    The Kerry Cow is actually closely related to them

    I've met Kerry cows in the past and they were fairly laid back temperament wise imo.

    What are Kerry bulls like?

    They are fighting bulls, bred to be agressive. A cattle crush wouldn't go astray though.
    I thought I saw small blue crush at the start , maybe they want to handle them that way to train them to be excited with people when let through the doors to the bullring .
    Same way alot of lads dosed around here when I was young

    Ya that makes sense. Train them to charge.
    In the old days when I was very young, I remember using rings here that we put on cattle's legs in a loose shed. We'd let out the young animal then and pull a rope tru the rings. That would knock him to the ground where he'd be tied up for castration or polling, or both. The good old days eh.

    Oh ya great times but I wouldn't swop them for a good crush and a bottle of pour on haha. I remember the nerves heading into a little stone shed with a couple of weanlins in there to be caught and drenched with a glass bottle, the worst part for a young lad like me was holding the bottle of stuff with a warning not to drop it at all costs cos we didn't have another bottle if it broke.
    We had a good set up at home always but lads were always asking the old boy to dose/skull/squeeze their few, I think mostly cos he would bring his own dose and not take money!

    How long more is left in the scheme. Only bought 10 x €1.80 stamps yesterday. I suppose it will be easier to put 2 x €1 stamps on

    Usually the quite the cow the more wicket the bull. The bulls mobility is an issue as well. With the exception of He and SH most traditional breeds bulls are wicket enough. The Jersey cow would lick you to death but the bulls are wicked but on top of that there mobility is a real issue. I say Kerry bulls would be the same.

    Any bull with a milk strain was always wicked.

    Nothing to do with milk, it's the fact that they are hand reared. The same bull reared under a cow would be dead quiet. Google Temple Grandin - she might explain it better.

    We had only 2 Jersey cows here that would absolutely kill you after calving and weren't very trustworthy any other time either, one of them was called Johnny after a short old man down the road that was always cranky haha

    I'll never forget a neighbour here who was attacked by a bull in the 90s. The bull had been quiet but unexpectedly attacked the man then in his eighties. He was in a bad way for a long time and dont think ever fully recovered. You cant be to careful around them tbh. Another bull was diagnosed with a brain abscess which resulted in it trying to take out anyone and anything within a 100 yards. That one had to be pts in the yard.

    Had a sales person in a red land cruiser 171 ke reg today. He drove in by the house and straight down the yard. I came out and was waiting for him when he came back up from his viewing. Is the boss man around.... I said he's away. Going on about feed troughs for calves. Showing me cheques from local farmers who bought from him also said he wasn't getting out of the jeep as the prick of a dog was there....

    Asking for the 'boss man' really ruled out any business.
