[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 928210, member: 8973"] To answer your question as to whether the craziness is genetic or not. IMO the bulk of the problem is learned. I have had some cattle with a wild attitude and I know it influenced the action of the herd. Getting rid of the unpredictable animal always calms to herd. I closed my herd a number of years ago to all but bringing in new bulls. All cattle less than docile were sold off. Since then no issues have arisen. I work my cattle by myself, no help. Calf ear tags and bands are applied in the pasture without concern of being mauled. I can walk among the herd without their being afraid of me and me of them. We have an arms length agreement however. I do not touch them and they do not touch me. Works great! [/QUOTE]
