It's for practical reasons too..at least it was a long time ago and it's considered breed standard. Most dogs that have their ears cropped and tails docked were herding/working dogs and with shorter ears and tails it would prevent them from getting their ears or tails bitten or caught on things while herding cattle or sheep. Also their ears are less prone to yeast infection when cropped. I am still not a fan of cropped ears though.

branding is seldom done anymore. now days it is simply an ear tag and that is no different then piercing a childs ears. yeah i know you weren't serious per say but just to let people know who don't regularly see farms. the animals aren't treating like house guests but they aren't abused either.

yes bulls still get nose rings but it may save your ass at some point

Correct, no reason to crop the ears of a working or protection dog. You see a lot of Police dogs with cropped ears? No.

the nose is very sensitive. that's why they sometimes have the chain attached to it. you can lead the bull around without him fighting you with the ring and chain. they also tie the chain to a weight to slow the bull down from charging sometimes.
i've only been charged at once but it wasn't fun. had a friend get put in the hosp from a charge.

Reminds me of growing up on the ranch man. Getting a bull to chase you was just something we did for fun! I've been getting charged since I was 8...never been hit though.
