Can't grab this Bull by the horns any more!!


Any one who knows us, knows how serious we are about safety... Safety of our animals and safety of the children that we take our animals to. Whether it is a birthday party with ponies or animals for events, we keep it as safe as possible.

One way to keep things safe is to anticipate what can go wrong, before it goes wrong and fix the situation. When you anticipate and work to fix the problem it has to be a win/win situation.

This is Liam our mini-bull. Liam, like the rest of our cattle are Irish Dexters. Well bred and sweet and calm. The problem with Liam is that although naturally polled ( no growing horns) sometimes there is "scurs" or horn like protrusions. They don't grow, but can cause some damage none the less. The safest thing to do, for everyone...Liam included...is to remove them.

Our fantastic Vet has been called to the rescue to fix our pretty boy!! Liam has been given a sedative and the area around the scurs is numbed before the "surgery."

Like I said before....no grabbin this bull by the horns!!
