Spot the freak !Trevor the dexter bull calf who now thinks that he is a horse, has little or no respect for our barbed wire fences and quite literally has free range of the place !

Perhaps he's seen his bigger siblings disapearing & the horses staying & realised its time to make like a horse.

The horses look a bit unsure of the upstart

Bodger,
My Dexter bull calf (now a year old) has absolutely no respect for any fence, either.
He has been across the river, "visiting" a neighbour's dairy cattle   , and I have found it absolutely impossible to keep him out of the goat shed.
I nailed a sheep hurdle at a height that was OK for the goats to get in, but too low for Aqua, or so I thought. Until I caught him in there yesterday, and wondered how on earth I was going to get him back out again.
He soon solved the problem by lying down on his belly and wriggling along the floor until he was outside again. (Little b*gg*r!!)

Touch wood, we have his mum here and he's been content to stay within our boundaries.
We are going to turn him into a bullock one of these weekends. We haven't told him yet, so keep it to yourself, incase he gets wind of whats a foot and packs his bags and does a proper runner.

OUCH!!! What's it worth to keep a secret?
By the way, I also have Aqua's mum, his "auntie" and his half-sister, but it still didn't stop him wandering across the river and up a steep bank (and through two fences)

The best thing that we ever bought was a mains electric fencing unit and if he gets too big for his boots he will have to feel the full force of it.

awwww - wish I had room for a little cutie like him - he definitely needs a blanket like his "friends" - but I don't think pink is his colour

Jane. He's got to get use to the cold, its going to be perishing for him in the freezer.

Good point
Just curious about one thing - when you take him to the abattoir what happens to his fur coat - do you get it back or is it one of the bits that they keep?
