Prof. Raymond Albrechson of the New York State College of Agriculture cautions on when to begin bull training. He argues that starting at a young age, around two weeks, may be premature but discusses best practices for taming and handling bulls.
A professor notes bulls respond to early training. Begin teaching a bull calf to behave in public, aim to lead at your side with a firm but humane approach. Avoid letting the animal pull ahead, and insert a light ring in the nose around eight months to aid education.
A guidance piece on ring training for bulls emphasizes starting with the ring in early stages, keeping a halter, then teaching to lead on a staff. Reward the bull with an apple or tidbit to offer the ring, and handle firmly but avoid harsh methods unless the bull resists. Professor Albrechson concludes that with a mature bull the best approach is very little handling.

The ideal farm storage is an outdoor underground cellar or cave set into hillside with earth covering, masonry floors, air ventilators, and can store canned goods and whole produce. Bank cellars suit rolling ground, with lower masonry and upper insulated sections. A home basement storage room is the simplest option.
