cooler weather, a purple hairbrush and two lil snots

LOL, welllllllll......

He tried it on me again tonight. I had the old broomhandle that I use on kickin' cows. I whopped him pretty good, then I grabbed him and put him on his side and sat on him. Hows THAT for a visual?


He was cowering in a corner when I left. Ole Socrates got ALL the attention tonight.

****Let me say here that I dont condone beating animals usually.I do have a barn stick. I will not accept aggression or dangerous play from anyone, human or animal, I will always be MORE aggressive and MORE dangerous. Me an My Broomhandle have worked over more than one snotty cow, a biting horse, a couple dogs that snapped at me, and a man (ex boyfriend who hit me, boy did he get a surprise). Oh, and a neighbors rooster came over once and flogged me, put his spur in my leg, I accidently killed him with the stick. um, the rooster not the neighbor.

That was the last chance. Next time, he will die before sundown. I have had enough of his attitude.

Lol, that was an awesome read! I also do not get aggressive with the livestock unless I have to, and I have had a rooster or two I have had to eat due to temper issues. I raise a few Dutch bantam chickens and the roosters are always snots, I keep one of the sons every year to replace the old snot as they are pure evil IMO. My silkies I will grab by the tail if they get out of line and toss them out the door. I cannot whap them as they can and will fall over dead if you hit their head at all as most of them do not have a fully formed skull.

My goats do play fight like what your describing though, rear up full of force then come down and tap. Never had one try it with me though. The black one does like to rub her head on you though, usually your butt, you just have to watch the horns.

Our previous buck met the business end of a shovel a few times before he met the freeezer. <and no I did not beat him to death with a shovel but man on man would he have deserved it>

But sometimes putting them in the freezer isn't very productive when you purchased them for their manly parts.

Thankfully, the banding process took the attitude out of Socrates.

hmmm....wonder if that would work on teenage boys?

I'm holding that one in reserve for when my boys are teenagers

We have threatened ours once or twice. Once they see a banding, it sticks in the mind. A very useful tool!

redtailgal that is not abusing animals that is protecting your knees and you. Good luck. If I did not love my Buck Tack so much I would let you borrow him. The worst thing he does is rub his head on everyone and when he gets a chance he likes to spray me. I made the mistake one time and sat down in his pen. (Won't do that again) He decided to rub his head across my back and there went the horns. Got 2 nice scars know. But he did not do it on purpose. When we 1st got him though he tried and got an broom handle across his horns or sprayed in his face. Good luck hope it works out.

guess his spraying you is payback from when you sprayed him???
