[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1839055, member: 42463"] Docility is one of the most heritable traits. All traits are more or less heritable, and docility is on the high end of that list of traits. I worked for a guy that trailered a two year old, $100K bull to the slaughterhouse because the bull was a bad actor. The owner valued his reputation more than the money. There was a Limousin bull in the early eighties that had a great reputation for being a "complete" package, including high docility ratings... and his calves were excellent just like him... but the next generation tended to be extremely wild. The bull was weeded from most herds due to his grand-progeny being hard to handle. [/QUOTE]
