[QUOTE="dun, post: 63119, member: 34"] There was a study down @ U of CO some years ago that was based on behaviour of cattle going through a couple of sales barns. According to the study the swirl location was indicative of disposition. While I was still doing the DHIA technician stuff I did my own study but based it on cows going through the milk parlors at 15 different dairys. Multiple observations of most of the cows. I found that if there is a correlation, after observing approx 1000 individual cows, I couldn't see it. The craziest cow, every time she came through the barn, had a swirl perfectly located between her eyes. In theory that's the docile location. The easiest going had two swirls, one almost on her nose and when just below the poll. My study wasn;t near as scientific as the one from the university, but I wasn't trying to write a masters thesis from it either. It's kind of like breeds. There are nut cases and sweeties in every breed, or with every swirl location. dun [/QUOTE]
