[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1805241, member: 2703"] I have never seen a Mashona or Tuli with a poor temperament, they have been herded by young boys for centuries being kraaled overnight, and milked in the mornings before being herded out to graze. This has resulted in their developing a docile genotype with close affinity to their herders. during the 70's when I was constantly deployed, my herd was minimally handled yet were immediately responsive when we brought them in for branding etc when on R+R. The Sanga breed herds in Australia are all reported as being very docile and naturally herding. I will contact Jaime and Johann for an opinion on the Mashona herds in the USA, I only had Tuli while I lived in NC, as Weaver kept a tight control on the Mashona genetics. [/QUOTE]
