[QUOTE="capt, post: 640980, member: 3759"] Knersie is right on the money. A hair whorl below the eyes is associated with calmer dispositions and a hair whorl above they eyes has shown to be more flighty and nervous especially when being handled. I think this bull is just nervous in his new surroundings. There is nothing in any of the pictures that indicates anything to me other than a nervous animal in new surroundings. Look closely at the third picture and take note of his ears inrealation to where he is looking. Feet planted, left ffront slightly behind the right front and coordinated with his ear indicating something he isn't particularly comfortable with off to his left. He is watching the camera, yet nervous at what is to his left. It is always a good idea to be very calm and quiet around cattle in a new surrounding and turning him in with a steer that is comfortable in his surroundings is a very good idea. I would guess you bought him as a heifer bull and in that respect I think you will like his calves out of limi heifers. Nice bull, not the greatest but I have seen many worse. [/QUOTE]
