How do you get a 2,000 lb bull in a trailer?

Now I got reg Jersey bull here by the name of Bullwinkle..actually that is his pet name. We hand raise him from birth. This guys is so gentle. All his life he has played with a plastic water barrell. We toss it to him and he tosses it back..When he sees us, he will go round up his barrell and with his horns, toss it over to the fence for us. Then bounce around like some dog waiting for a ball ..We toss it and he throws it back. And of course, he comes to his name and is a real pest too

I've heard of folks winching a bull into a trailer....a live bull, that is. Just a slow, gentle pull....until he had to go there, no choice. I would say with a bull like yours, it would take a heck of a winch!

Is he a White Park?

sounds like you need a cow and a large stock trailer. place cow in front section with feed and water. open back door with long rope attached to be able to close without approaching trailer. sit back and enjoy the day. the bull will be eaisier to haul with a friend. works for horses, why not bulls? :/

Don't get me to lying. I don't know the first thing about cows except how wonderfully delicious they taste on my dinner plate; preferably in the form of a steak or a hamburger.

Next time I hear from the owner or see the guy in charge of this mess, I'll ask for you if you're real interested in knowing.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! I offered that suggestion last weekend, but nobody went for it. After all, he's missin his ladies and he gets real happy everytime the girls (cows) from across the street come into the pasture that is across from him.

Last weekend, I was so desperate to see him go that I was VERY, VERY tempted to jump into the chute and run into the trailer just to see if I could get him to follow me (or more correctly, chase me) into the trailer! However, as I looked that trailer over, there was no side door at the front that I could jump out of. Also, I'm pretty much Calamity Jane who can't walk & chew gum at the same time. I could just picture myself falling as I tried to leap into the back of the trailer so that the bull could stomp me, head butt me or do some other horrible thing to my detriment.
