[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1698637, member: 19397"] I've used several Angus bulls over a few different bloodlines. I have one cow that's "interesting." In the field, she's fine, but working her becomes interesting and she's always looking for an out. This will be the first year trying to AI her, and if she won't load, she won't stay. She probably won't stay anyway since all of her calves have been crazy. Three different AI sires (Full Power, Hickok and one I can't remember but big DOC number), and a bull I raised that was pretty docile have produced four calves that you wouldn't want to keep. I have another cow that's dog gentle, has a bubble, but does what I need and she's produced fantastic calves. Point is, I think a lot of it is the cow. Buy docile cows, use docile bulls (with HIGH accuracy numbers) and you'll get good calves. At least that's what I've learned. [/QUOTE]
