Lute.....

Uses in breeding management, works on cattle, goats, and as I understand dogs also. Unfortunately works on people as well . Used as intended it brings animals into estrus so planned breeding can occur..also will about and unintended breedings.

Some of the rodeo stock boys in my area are breeding Belgian Blue into their bulls to give them more muscling. This bull appears to have that style butt-end on him.

By golly I think you got it. Dang sure nothing you want to try to squeeze through a Jersey heifer.

Hotwire ain't gonna do any good for that fellow. He's got a lot of Brahma in him and they can jump like deer.

Lots like you should make hamburger out of him fast. His fine for trespassing is a trip to the butcher shop.

He is *supposed* to move him as soon as he gets back to Missouri and gets his catch-pen set up. At least that is the drift I got from him. I'll make sure as soon as I can call him again. No use aborting the heifers(using Lutalyse to kick them back into heat), until I'm sure he won't be breaking back in to breed them again!

Heard Bucking Bulls go for quite alot of money but I dunno how well a Jersey/BB mix would go that it would kick out small framed animals.

Some of the nastiest bucking bulls around are small.

From personal experience, I will say that Brahama cross bulls tend to sire calves that are above average in birth weight. Most times, much above average.

Think I would tell the neighbor to come get his "bull" quick, or he could take his time in coming to get his "steer".

Had a young brahma cross heifer that was a pet. When on the way home after work I would see her sometimes a mile or more in another pasture. She would see my p/u and be home to greet me as soon as I got there. She could jump any fence like a deer. Had to sell her because of it.

I bet he put him with his cows to get more bull calves started!! That's why he doesn't want to move him just yet and opted for the hot wire! I'd almost guess that he's going to wait a couple of months to get his girls bred by him before he goes and moves him out. I sure hope that hot wire holds or you'll have a harder time with the aborting of your heifers. You might want to check into the laws in your area. See if you have the right to shoot his bull if he's on your pasture again as the owner has been made aware of the issue already and has taken insufficient measures to contain him.
