He's big, he's bad, he's Angus

They do look quite terrifying, at least to me! I don't imagine the farmers are terrified, but probably take precautions against being charged. I was very happy to have a fence between us! Thank you for the comment, Ring.

No, I would not like to walk around in their field! I was on the other side of a fence. Thanks, G!

is that a tail pointing out the back? so tiny for such a big guy.

i've been around a bull without a fence - but i was on a horse!

noticed in 'naturey crap - crappy nature'

I wondered about that, too. I think it's the base of his tail. Looks like a Hershey's Kiss!
I was around my grandfather's cattle a few times on the range, riding with him in his truck or tractor. He always warned us to watch out for the bull if we got out to walk around.
