They not only move like ghosts, they freeze like statues. Comparing domestic with wild breeds is like comparing apples and oranges. Young bulls feeling their oats, especially around cows on heat are very unpredictable. I still hold the tree climbing record for my age group.
I'm wondering if there is a DNA database that would trace back these animal's heritage. It would make a fascinating study.
In this game brother there are live cowards and dead heroes. I fit in the former.
oops. Hand me my brown trou
After seeing the influence of Bos Indicus in these NT bulls I've not seen any like them in NZ which tend to be Bos Taurus types. There would be no point of the tick and heat resistant Zebu strain / Brahman for NZ because NZ has neither the extreme heat nor any dangerous ticks to worry the cattle. I grew up with dairy cows and Hereford beef cattle, the latter being about as docile as they get. With young Hereford steers I used to lie down in a paddock with them and wait. After a short while they would form a perfect circle around me. I saw this kind of behaviour up in the NT, Gulf of Carpentaria, when we were near Normanton. In a grassy clearing there was a calf lying down with a flock of white Brolgas in a circle doing a dance around it. the Brolga dance has to be seen - it is so graceful. The calf may have been sick and the birds were just sharpening their appetite in anticipation of the feast.
They are generally hunted as an add-on to a Water Buffalo hunt, in Australia's Northern Territory. Trophy fees are around $1500 from my experience.
haha could be the reason I never wore shorts in spinifex country. It's a bitch.
Plenty of good tucker on the ground there. Fella is in good nick.
