[QUOTE="Longshot Cattle Co, post: 263262, member: 387"] We raise Purebred and Fullblood Pinzgauers for breeding stock and have very few problems with them. Our herd size topped out at a little over 100 head and we have since cut back. We have a 4 strand perimeter fence and only a single electric smooth wire between grazing pastures. Other than the calves walking under it once in a while or someone leaving a gate open, we have no trouble with fencing...we have more trouble keeping our neighbors Angus bull out!!! :mad: As for temperment, we often have buyers that go out into the main herd in the field with no problems at all...I might ad that the bull is in with the herd at all times. They love to have a scratch and maybe a treat(alfalfa pellets). Once in a great while you get a spooky heifer but that's not the norm. Our kids have shown cattle since they were 11. Imagine a scrawny 11 year old with a 1500 lb steer, looks pretty impressive in the show ring. We run our cattle through a tub/chute system with no problems. Low stress for us and them. We don't have any issues with a sale barn, because we never have any left to ship! We found with the quality of the meat and breeding lines, our repeat buyers and word of mouth are more than enough to keep the animals moving. Good Luck, I think you will be very happy with this breed. ;-) [/QUOTE]
