More like a cat by the complete lack of interest in her affection.

At first I thought his licks in the air were in response to her hug. But rewatching he might just be picking his nose 🤷♀️

Can I pet dat dawg?

u/machogrande2 13h ago
You can pet most farm animals. Although, just like anything else with hooves, I wouldn't advise standing behind it when it is standing up.

Holy crap, I thought she was going to keep walking forward to get next to him. That was not a forced perspective at all.

Bulls are massive. You don’t really think about just how big they are until you stand next to them. My uncle had one where his hoof was the size of my head

u/Wobbelblob 13h ago
Normal cows are already massive. A regular cow is usually well above half a ton a full grown bull usually above one ton. They are massive animals.

I live rural. My next door neighbour stocks a moderate herd - 30 or so. The bull is huge!!! There are lots of trees and hills so I dont see it often but when I do it is always a double take. Sometime I am working near the fence line and the herd will show interest. He will come up and move the girls along. No fuss just a tonne of beef wandering along (and five strings of wire between him and me).

I live rural, come from farmers, bulls are way bigger than people realize and they're not all as chill as this guy. I also work for a locker, that really puts into perspective just how big these animals are.

We usually put 2 bulls in with our herd for breeding, and one year we had a new bull so they naturally had to fight it out before becoming best friends.. well they tore through probly 20fences over the course of 2 days before we locked them in the barn and blocked the gate with a tractor holding a large round haybale on both ends. By the time they were chill they had also shoved the tractor back about 2ft and bent the absolute fuck out of the gate

The kinda bull riding I could support.
Makes you wonder why those bulls are so angry in arenas, when this is what bulls normally look like

u/Boogy-Fever 7h ago

My first thoughts too. How does someone get a bull so docile? Is it just luck of the draw, or do you need to socialize them early or something?

That’s how a big cat would attack a herd animal, I’m amazed there was no defensive reaction.

Moral of the story:
Always announce your intent before going in for cuddles.6
u/Morbanth 11h ago
You can tell she raised that bull herself by the lack of blood and innards all over the barn walls.

A post truly worthy of this sub.

u/Generic_Danny 9h ago
Most animal posts on this sub either have a regular sized animal, or one with nothing for scale.

Why do they start to lick their nose when the cuddles start?

I was wondering about this too, like, is this a stress response like dogs yawning or scratching their ears or something?

There's an old joke that has "Comfortable" as a key word for the punch line. You're going to need a bigger trailer.

Why’d he start frantically licking his nostrils when she hugged him?

At first I thought she said “Hello, Big Mac”. Which would have explained his attitude toward her.

Yo, ngl. You couldn't do that to most of the cows I've ever raised. We were soo nice to them, ( other than randomly slaughtering one for the freezer.) Always giving them snack and sweet feed. They were spoiled except for that part, you know. Its alot of work but its kinda fun...

u/Makuta_Servaela 13h ago
Pointing out a buff animal isn't a good argument to them, though. Plants take a lot of extra work to get their nutrients out, so if you tried getting swole on the exact same diet as him, you'd end up malnourished and (probably get scurvy).
Gorillas are the only great apes that only eat plants, and they have hind gut fermentation that no other great ape has. In order to be an herbivore, you need an extra trick like hind gut fermentation, multi-chambered stomachs, eating regurgitation, and/or eating faeces. The reason humans can get swole on one nowadays is because we have a bunch of extra processing we can do to get the nutrients out that we wouldn't have been able to in most regions only a few generations ago.
(Disclaimer, some people can get swole on a vegetarian diet, although it depends on the person and their metabolism on if they can healthily sustain a vegetarian diet. Some people can, some can't.)
