[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1508112, member: 13350"] I believe Bos Indicus reach puberty later than Bos Taurus, and across the board are less docile. (Of course i'm sure there's plenty of Bos Indicus that are as tame as a puddy cat, but I've been around more than a few that would take your head off.) In many parts of the country, ear is docked at the sale barn, and while i know CAB has done a number on the US industry, I believe they've been docking ear since before CAB was in diapers. And while i'm sure they're are some great scanning Bos Indicus cattle out there, as a species they do not perform as well as many of the Taurus cattle, especially the british breeds. That's why I brought up Senepol (N'dama x Red Poll) I'm interested in crossing them with Red Angus and or red baldies, and wanted to see if anyone had experience. My british breed cattle need a little more adaptability here in South GA with the heat and fly tolerance. [/QUOTE]
