“Beware of the Bull” could well serve as a health warning against excessive trust in Government. Here, in my apolitical, if occasionally apoplectic, life it means what its says: be careful of the big, dangerous fucker who has the power to gore, trample and terminate me on a mere whim or, with absolute certainty, should madness descend, and I decide to antagonise the beast until it cuts up rough . On the other hand it could just watch me with a disinterested baleful eye and do absolutely nothing. So….very like Government.

He doesn’t look very happy, especially with that contraption on his head. I’m sure he could do with a Cecilia holiday at thekitchensgarden 🙂
He chose the jewellery himself….:)
To make himself look more fierce, no doubt 😉
Very like the Lion in the Wizard 🙂
ROFL 🙂
Mad, are you suggesting he should have a week’s holiday in The Coupe 😉 ?
I bet Cecilia would be overjoyed….some of her cows might be less happy when “12 years a bull” arrives:)
Hmmm: so you think they really prefer the lady vet with that fine syringe 😉 ?
Ha ha – I was thinking more along the lines of a week in a field with Daisy and Queenie plus all of Cecilia’s TLC 😉
I think he may be a bit much for them…the Charolais cows aren’t far off his size:)
I bet the poor chap would jump at the chance 😉
Most forms of jumping would be bad for little cows:)
Except for jumping over the moon 😉
That’s true, but it normally involves drugs:)
Lucky cow!
It reminds me of the lost dog with one ear, one eye, no tail and three legs that answers to the name of “Lucky”:)
ROFL 🙂
Hope Celi has had time to have a laugh at this ‘conversation’ 😀 !!
I hope she’s been looking in for the helpful advice:)
😀 !!!!
That is one huge beast. What’s the chain for?
I don’t get it either….I can’t imagine him being led by a piece of rope if he didn’t want to go…
He’s definitely giving you the side-eye…
He’s so pissed off and why wouldn’t he be?
He is magnificent. Amazing that barbed wire can even hold him in…
I think that if he really wanted to leave, not a lot would stop him.
I wish we could figure out how to put that chain contraption on our people in government……..
Too right:)
Amen my friend. I fucking love your words!
Many thanks…:)
The barbed wire and chain serve to imprison my rampant thoughts… of slowly braised beef cheeks in red wine 😉
I was waiting for the first crazed carnivore:)
I look at those flies and feel sorry for the poor guy . . . . imagine your eyes and nostrils full of these pesky critters . . . quality of life . . . ?
I do too.
What a beast!
I visit him often on a little farm nearby. There are about three bulls like him, each with their own harem. It’s only recently that this chap has been on his own. I think it’s because the cows are looking after the calves.
That chain can’t be too comfy! You would think they would want him comfy versus cranky!
I a hopeless softy with animals…but he really doesn’t seem to care. Maybe he’s just remarkably stoic…more likely.
I hope so. Hate to think he’s suffering.
I don’t think he is…I visit often and he seems to be looked after. I think the chain is because he is so damn strong.
Granted I wouldn’t want to be around if he decided to show his strength!
It would be unwise to hang around. We have a friend out here who was dragged through the farmyard by a frightened young bull…he broke his pelvis and leg…
Yikes.
Yikes, indeed..
