WATCH: Donkey shows bull who's boss

A farmer from Dumfries is teaching his bulls how to behave on a halter- by having a donkey train them.

Richard McCornick breeds Charolais at Barnbackle Farm near Lochfoot and says the donkey, who he's named 'Donkey', helps calm his bulls.

It's the easiest way to halter break your cattle for the shows and sales. Donkey enjoys putting the bull through his paces.

"Donkeys seem to be growing in popularity recently for halter breaking cattle because they soon show the bull who's boss. They're such stubborn animals but Donkey isn't long with them!"

"It makes life so much easier, and it's also pretty funny to watch."
