Best Answer

One word: TESTOSTERONE.

Bulls are dangerous and unpredictable because of one of two things: jealousy and protection over their girls (the cows), and because they really really want to eat. Bulls that can smell a cow in heat and are being herded through a corral can become quite exited, and do as best as he can to get to that cow that "needs" him. Bulls are also dangerous if they don't respect you, and if they realize they are bigger and stronger than you and constantly challenge you. Challenging bulls get a one-way ticket to the slaughterhouse on my farm.

Why do they castrate bulls?

Most bulls are castrated to prevent any inferior genetics from being passed from him to the cowherd. Bulls that are inferior as far as ADG ability, temperament, forage convertibility, and conformation is concerned, should not be used for breeding. Also they can be quite aggressive and quite dangerous because of the testosterone levels.


Are Holstein Bulls dangerous?

Holstein bulls, as well as other dairy bulls are dangerous. They are unpredictable and at 2000lbs are very strong. A review of death by bulls in a 4 year period in the early 2000's in the Midwest tells me that complacency on the part of the handler played a part. Bulls can be docile and normal and well behaved for a year and then, one day stomp or butt the farmer or stock handler to death. Raising them as calves and trying to treat them as pets has not altered their unpredictable violent natures. They are not pets, they cannot be reasoned with. For many farmers the right choice is artificial insemination. It lessens the danger and can provide more genetic diversity to the dairy herd.

Are all boy cows bulls?

No. Uncastrated males are bulls. Castrated males are steers. Bulls can get aggressive and an aggressive animal that's as big as a bull is dangerous, so most male cattle are castrated. All boy cows are not bulls. Determining on whether the owner of the bull wants steers in his herd or bulls he will either castrate them and make them steers or not and keep them as bulls. Aggressiveness is not the only reason bulls are castrated. If the owner is interested in better quality meat, then when they castrate the bull, they don't produce as much testosterone. Therefore, instead of becoming a more lean and muscular animal, they become more meaty. It improves the quality of the meat by producing more muscling in the meat. Producers usually receive a better profit when they sell groups of steers than when they try and sell a few bulls.
