[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1313950, member: 24816"] Several years ago, a neighbor used Charolais bulls, and his and mine would fight through the fence, so I started keeping my bulls in fields where they weren't close to another bull, or just ran a yearling bull in boundary fields next to another bull. Over time his bull still would get in with my cows at times. It wasn't a big deal, my cows were gentle d I could get them in the barn lot and barn and separate the bull out, so they could come get him. Then one time, I wasn't sue if it was the same bull or not, and I didn't ask, but I noticed the bull seemed more nervous when he came up into the lot. I got hi and some cows in the barn and by the time I got him in the stall, that e call the bull stall, I just knew there was going to be something happen. The bull tore the side out of the stall, thankfully they could come and get him soon while he was still at least in the barn lot. That being said, some of the wildest cattle that I have had have been a couple Angus bull calves, their mothers were calm, and so were their contemporaries. One of them was even out of a AI bull promoted for his docility EPD. I like Angus, but seems to be quite a range of disposition from very docile, to very flighty bordering on hostile, with out much in between. Not trying to bash any breeds have had good and bad in each breed that I have dealt with, just sharing some of my experiences. [/QUOTE]
