Title
Farm Implement - Bull Staff
Description
Once belonged to Franklin Burr. Crude wood handle, sophisticated hook and chain. George Ashley, October 15, 2006, said that the metal locking device on the staff was put into the ring in the nose of the bull so the worker didn't need to get too close to it. The staff was mostly used to pull the bull toward a cow for mating purposes. George said the bull usually pulled the man and that once he saw the staff he was very eager to be caught associating the tool with the task at hand.
