[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 640443, member: 4353"] I believe its the opposite, high hair whorl is usually associated with an excitable temperament while a low hair whorl indicates a docile animal. I agree with Frankie, let the bull settle and judge his temperament when he is with other cattle, the most docile show animal will be alert after a sale especially if alone in an enclosed area. If he still scares you then, especially considering he is just a yearling, its maybe time to reconsider how much good he'll do for your herd in the long run. He looks like a pretty sound calving ease type (not having looked at his EPDs at all), if that was the intention he'll probably do the job for you. I prefer bulls to be thicker and wider from end to end with more depth and volume, but that is a very broad generalisation without taking specific needs into account. Having said that I still believe you can have thickness and muscle in a calving ease package. [/QUOTE]
