TREAT HIM KINDLY.
While it is very necessary to be firm with bull calves from their earliest days, yet at the same time nothing can be done with them unless they are treated kindly. It is possible to terrify a bull into unwilling surrender by means of beating and constant threatening, but there is small satisfaction in the fact that the bull is only on his good behaviour so long as he fears correction. Where kindness is tempered with firmness the bull gradually gets to understand who is master and will not try any tricks. Frequentlv what is put down to vicious behaviour is only exuberance of spirits and playfulness, for young bulls, like all young creatures, are playful and unconsciously do damage through being ignorant of their own great strength.
