    Just a word of warning. I watch many farming channels, most farmers warn they’re more likely to be hurt by hand raised ‘gentle’ bulls than any other. They’re stronger and don’t have boundaries. Please be careful.

      I was about to say the same. I grew up with cattle, and even though the bull is friendly when they are young. Its a different story when the testosterone is getting high, the animal get big, and they are the alpha, and so on.. My advice is always have a planned escape route, know their bodylanguage and always keep close attention. This is important for all cattle, but especially with bulls.. Love your channel, just a heads up :)

      Same goes for cows, it is nice to have friendly cows but they really don’t understand how big they are, biggest thing to remember is to never pet/stroke their heads, it will lead to head butting, best to have them well socialised but not overly

      Yes ! A Hereford that was raised from a calf almost killed a chap I worked alongside during the summer holidays, when I was still a schoolboy. That morning, it barred his exit from a field and the only way he survived was by wrestling it by its nostrils. He was bloodied in the face and in a fair amount of discomfort in the rib/chest area. He had the animal put down immediately.

      My niece and nephew bought a highland calf and treated him like a puppy - he was very very friendly. He literally would run up to you like a dog when you pulled into their yard. At 2 years old he ran full speed ahead to my nephew and tossed him so far up in the air he landed and broke both arms. After that they tried to pen him up Instead of letting him run free. He had none of it and broke out every night running the street, banging down their front door etc etc. it got very dangerous. They finally had to get rid of him.

    I really enjoy watching you all and it reminds me of the way that my family used to raise Scottish highland cattle! We started in Washington state and our lead Cal was a Washington state champion and she was AI inseminated to an international champion and we got a beautiful mahogany brindle bowl out of our red lead cow! He was bucking all over the place before he was even knee-high and I wrote the little guy to tame him! He became a freight train and lived almost 15 years before we put him in the freezer! He was the tastiest beef my children said they had ever eaten! We loved him dearly and he was like a giant puppy dog and would load up in any trailer and we could deliver him for both service to our friends! We took our cattle and set up at the fair is just like you!

    We name our pigs even when we know they will be going to the butcher. We show them love and my kids work with them daily and show them at our local fair. This past year we had Sharbait. He was very loved and got and endless supply of his favorite treats ❤️ future food or not they should live a good life full of love and respect. Like you said they just have one bad day.

    I’m the 45th viewer! The fair looks like fun, especially seeing your baby bull!

    I'm definitely interested in a video about pruning, and really any videos about the orchard in general.

    morgan i can't speak for everyone, I think we all just enjoy your personality and your farm, I personally love anything you post even if I think oh I don't know if I want to watch that I have never skipped gone on my phone walked away from my screen nothing I am fully invested in your journey.. anything you do on the farm is my favourite part of youtube. as well as your non-farm content, not that there's too much of that.:)
