he will break over ordinary fences and serve them. Keep 

 him always so you will know exactly where he is. 



Do not send a good bull to the shambles at 5 years old. 

 If he is getting good heifer calves, his lease of useful life- 

 cannot be too long. Keep him as long as you can and then 

 dispose of him to some one who needs a good bull. He 

 should be useful for service until the age of 12 years, at 

 least, if well cared for in his earlier life. 



Keep this in mind, that you can never be too watchful 

 of the dairy bull. No matter how kind you are to him, he 

 will take advantage of you when you least expect it. It is 

 in this way that so many prominent breeders have lost their 

 lives. Have a strong stick with a snap in the end which 

 you can snap into the ring in his nose. This will make it 

 quite safe to handle him; but even this cannot always be- 

 depended upon to stop him.
