[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1445872, member: 9096"] Docility is a really complicated subject, especially when it comes to bulls... I make a very clear difference between TAME (lets you scratch him) and docile (doesn't get stirred up).. My homeraised bull is both.. Yeah, he comes close, but he's absolutely laid back and calm, you can work cows around him and he just goes with the flow.. My Limo is tame as well, but he will get excited about getting worked. I've had pet cows that are dolls to work with, but there's just something in their eye when they have a calf that keeps me on edge (Rosie was one, though she never even so much as bluffed me).. Mega on the other hand was completely cool and collected after calving, even with relative strangers she ordinarily didn't like, she didn't show aggression toward them in the least And yes, they do take after their peers, and it just takes ONE nutjob that freaks out about everything to set the whole herd's mood into flight mode.. Finally I've gotten rid of them all, still have a few antisocial cows, but that's OK, they don't freak out. [/QUOTE]
