Now don't be sad. Remember that Jet has had 2 long happy years in idyllic setting, if a little wet and windy sometimes. He is a little bull and actually can be quite scarey as he thunders across the field to headbutt you playfully with his enormous head.
So, no more pictures of Jet.
Within 2 weeks he will be very used to going into his trailer for a bucketful of food. It all helps to make the unpleasant business of farming, a stress free as possible.
The trip takes about half an hour depending on traffic and only one of our animals has shown any stress. This was the last bullock who tried to climb out of the horse trailer in the middle of Bradford. OH got out of the truck and punched him on the nose and he settled down then. I was so shocked and scared that he could get out of the trailer that the rest of the journey was one of the worst of my life.
I am hoping that this episode was a one-off. I'll let you know.
