What this sheet is for
Keep everything about one bull's handling in one place, from his first day on the farm. A change in his behaviour is then on paper rather than in one person's head.
Who it is for
Farmers keeping a stock bull, and anyone hiring or lending one.
How to use it
- Start the sheet when he arrives, with what the seller told you about his handling.
- Write a line each time you check his ring, pen gates, feeding from outside and his field.
- List the people trained to handle him, and keep the list current.
- Record every move, whether the public can get near him, and any incident or near miss.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: One sheet for each bull, kept for as long as he is on the farm: how he was handled before, his ring, the checks on his pen and fields, who handles him, where he is kept and anything he has done.
Check the rules where you are. No ages, distances or check intervals are printed. The rules on bulls in fields the public can enter, and on handling them, differ by country and by a bull's breed and age, so check the rules where you are. Plan every job so nobody has to go in with him loose.
Write-on lines: Bull's name · Ear tag · Breed · Born · Arrived · Bought or hired from · How he was handled there, as the seller described it · Ring fitted on · Fitted by · Ring type · Handling aids kept at
Ring, pen and field checks — a line every time you look him over

Questions
Why does the sheet not say how old a bull can be in a field with a footpath?
Because those rules differ between countries and can depend on the breed as well as the age. Check the rules where you are; the sheet records where he was and whether the public could get near him.
Why write down what the seller said?
Because how a bull was handled before he came is the best early warning of how he will behave. Written down on day one, it is still there when somebody new has to move him.
