I bought "Mabel" in February. She is a 5 year old registered Beefmaster cow with good lines. She is also polled, which is one of the main reasons I bought her. I have had a hard time locating polled Beefmaster cows in FL.
Since arriving, she has gotten somewhat agressive to the point where I do not trust her. When I approach her, she will on occasion shake her head and jump forward a bit as if she may charge. Now if I have a feed bucket, she is fine of course. She tolerates me, but does not like my wife or daughter at all.
I am puzzled as to what to do as I spent a lot of money on her, and she is due to have a calf in September. If its a heifer, we need her for our breeding program for sure. I have raised crossbred for several years and never encountered this problem. My cows and bull either shy away or are so tame you can groom them. Any advice would be great.
