[QUOTE="coachg, post: 1691565, member: 22053"] Think it helps if the breeding has that trait but I think handling and how often they have good interactions with you is the main factor. Two almost identical groups of heifers calves : 2019 group was preconditioned with their steer brothers . The steer group had to be worked several times for various health issues so the heifers had to go through the catch process too . Everyone of the heifers are skittish , a couple even borderline wild . Group sold ! 2020 group , almost the same momma’s . We retained this group , worked them the minimum times for worming , vaccinating etc . No yelling, no hotsticks. We had to push 5-6 into the head catch because they are so laid back . Keepers !
