Vet on the Moove: Welcoming "Scott the 8th" and getting him breeding season ready

One of the most important ratings for any bull is docility, as safety on the farm is paramount to any carcass quality, writes farm vet Hazell Mullins.

Hazell's new stockbull, Scott the 8th.

Being the week of my wedding, I thought it apt to write about the new bull “Husbandry” now that “Scott” the 8th - if not 9th at this point - has also arrived in the yard. 

It is somewhat of a tradition now that all Angus bulls get the title of 'Scott the Bull' which was passed on from their predecessors. I once tried to call the Angus bull Malcolm, but I was vetoed.
