[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 629541, member: 6713"] No trouble penning her. In fact she likes for me to scratch her ears when I'm feeding. Her problem is she wants to be with the main herd instead of being in a paddock with a few heifers. She didn't try to kill me she just jumped the fence to get to the main herd. For the record I have found Gelbvieh's to be very docile, I rank Herefords first, Shorthorns second and Gelbvieh third for disposition. They do however like to jump. Period. The last bull we had would jump the fence just to graze the lane. I beat his a$$ with a 6 foot section of one in blk plastic pipe 3 times in one week for jumping the fence. After the third time if he saw me coming he would jump the fence and go hide in the cows. However, for the record last spring I thought we needed a second bull to give our RA a jumpstart with a little competition. So I bought a 2yr old Blk Limi bull at the sale. Couldn't get a BSE for a couple days so I had to keep him at the sale barn, Second day I went into the pen to turn on the water for him and the SOB put me over the fence. HARD. Sold him back a week later, and made sure everyone knew he was mean. I am not trying to paint with a broad brush but I'm batting 1000 with limi's for not being fun to work with. [/QUOTE]
