[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 600885, member: 1682"] Herefords are more docile. Angus breeders will admit that. Whenever this topic comes up, in local conversations, the Angus guys say that the Angus are more, "rangey", and require less work around them. However, they admit subtly that Angus are not a breed you want to get up close and personal with. I actually know a few that like them for being crazy as they are easier to work with with less nonsense. An example, I know one fella that runs 400+ Purebred Hereford and Red Angus and commercial cows and told us one time "I like those Angus. They run down the chute and never take a moment to think which way they want to go...it's always AWAY from YOU. Now those stupid Hereford cows, you have to get behind and push those stupid suckers down the chute and they are always wanting to turn around on you." I told him "it's because they love you and can't leave you behind" :lol: . As a side note, this fella's dad (70+ years old) loves his cows, but won't be around the Angus when they are calving...only the Herefords. An additional side note, locally, a lot more guys get hurt working Angus cowherds than Hereford herds. I can't remember that last guy locally that got seriously hurt by a Herf cow. I know I was never young or crazy enough to run Angus cows. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
