[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 625904, member: 7875"] Okay, so where do you suspect a calf gets its temperment from? Obviously, half the genetics come from each parent, but wouldn't you think that the cow would influence the calf more in terms of her temperment around humsns. For example: You have a calm cow and a nervous bull. Is the calf cam like its mother, nervous like its father, slightly nervous(the average of the two), or calm with nervous tendencies( genetic influence of father over calm genetics and raising of mother)? I'm curious because some A.I. bulls will not be as docile as others, but have other assets that could offset that if the calves took more after their mothers. No amount of good values would be worth it though if the calves were busting through fences, nearly impossible tocatch, or tried to kill you when you came in the pasture. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
