[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 601135, member: 1258"] This is an interesting quesiton. My grandfather once got a bunch of Hereford cows, the short legged fat type. They were very docile and easy to work with. My mother rememberd them for years. We went and got three purebred Herefords although they were the taller, longer more modern looking Hereford - two of them left after the first calving season for being too difficult to work with. One of them we still have and she is an embryo recip for us, although not as gentle as our Red Angus recip we used this year. I have never had dealings with Black Angus, I have heard some commercial cattlemen say the reason they buy red instead of black is because the blacks are meaner, don't know if this is true not having a black. Our Red Angus are extremely docile as a whole. We have a couple that aren't as nice but most of them are the follow the bucket types and love to get scratched. Strangers are perfectly safe with them. I will say that we have always bought and bred for disposition but I think that is more the key than breed. I could be wrong though... [/QUOTE]
