Dear TXCHICK, thanks so much for the recommendation! I'll contact Jim right away.

thanks norriscathy. I really do get that these are not sweet little animals like puppies. this is why I'm relying on all y'alls expertise. I've already learned a lot about Brahmans just by posting in this forum.

Yes, I've always loved the Herefords. My uncle raised them when I was a kid and they were the gentlest, sweetest animals around! That's definitely going to be my next choice.

Yep! I'm convinced that this is a dominance thing. I won't do anything without my husband out there with me. I'm going to try the cane method. If it doesn't work, then I can't have her. It's too dicey, even if I stayed away completely. She could do it to someone else.

Well, thanks again for all your replies. It has definitely given me something to think about. Those Herefords are looking better and better.

Oh no, I totally understand what he's saying. It sounds like several of you here have either personally experienced, or known someone seriously injured or killed by an animal. And there is NO animal worth that. I really do need to consider this.

Bez, and all, No, I didn't take offense to it. That's why I'm posting on this site, to get as much info as I can from people who have the experience. And it sounds like you guys are all pretty experienced with cattle. I may not have the stomach to deal with her the way she needs. If that is...

Thanks for that advice too. The thing is, it's not that she doesn't know me. I've been with her and around her since she came here. She definitely knows who I am. It sounds like it could be an attention thing. We have these three goats that are part of her "herd" and I've noticed that, whenever...

Thanks very much for all the advice! I'll keep you posted. I'll have to think about the best way for me, personally, to handle it. I have read and heard that Brahmans are a very different kind of breed. To me, they seem extremely sensitive and a bit high-maintenance. I've even read that if they...

Oh my gosh! I'm sorry to hear about that! Was it a Brahman that injured you??

Yeah, that's what I think too. I don't know what happened. I am the last person who would have done anything mean to cause this behavior. I'm a pushover. I thought that might be the problem.

Hi! I'm new to this board and to cattle and I need some advice. It's a long story that I won't go into, but the short version is this: our daughter wanted a Brahman heifer to raise and show. We got one (she's a real beauty). We already had three young goats as companions for the heifer, which...
