[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1137017, member: 21626"] This year I had 2 calves out of Conneally Thunder, his DOC EPD is 26, and they are exact opposites. One calf was a heifer, she was born in the barn where we could try to work with her one-on-one and try to get her used to people at a young age... I'd say she's the craziest calf on the place, and will do anything to avoid any/all human contact. The other calf, born 2 days ago, is a bull calf and when I was in the pasture, he found me rather than me finding him... I was looking at my other calves when I heard a little moo behind me, and there he was. He came right up and let me pet him while his mom stood guard (she's also a very docile animal that always comes up to get scratched and tries giving us hugs). The dam of the first calf has always been pretty flighty, so that could be a strong influence as well. This is only 2 calves though, so probably not representative. [/QUOTE]
