[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1713037, member: 14585"] Disposition is 44% inherited 56% environment. Do not start with heifers. That will eliminate most calving problems. Buy a cow that has raised a calf before, so that at least one of you know what you are doing. Buy bred cows to help eliminate buying a problem breeder. Buy locally and go to the farm to select your cows. It will cost you more, but you will be happier with your cows. TC frequently walks among her cows and makes pets out of a lot of hers. To start a hobby herd, I would buy cows from someone like TC and then breed them back to which ever breed you like. IF you can have your cows bred A.I. I'd use some [B]Wagyu[/B] semen to produce some high quality 'table' beef for your freezer. When selecting your cows eliminate any 'high headed' cow. That would be any cow that appears to be too alert, flighty or afraid of you. [/QUOTE]
