[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 267400, member: 839"] It is very rare, if not impossible, to change the inherent temperament of the animal. Think about some people you may know that are just naturally high-strung people. Even with "therapy" or self-help books, that person is just a naturally high-strung person. Similar deal with animals. Similar deal with cattle whether it be a Charolais, Jersey,Angus,Brahman,Shorthorn or whatever. Some individuals are "naturally" more cautious, wary, agressive etc. Brief example, had cow (withholding the name of breed so as not to get off-topic), who was "naturally" a bit high-strung. She had always been worked calmly and quietly, saw me every day etc. In all the years I had that fool, she was always the first one to try to crash a fence, jump a gate, bundt and roll you every chance she got. Always raised a great calf, but I finally came to my senses and realized that that great calf just was not worth the aggrivation the cow caused and she grew wheels and I'm not sorry for that decision. dun is right on the mark, get rid of the nutcase leader and you will see a big difference in the behavior of the rest of the group. As to whether your F1 Brahma cross can handle the cold, I'm no expert in that department. But I would think that the higher percentage of Brahman, the less tolerance for incredibly frigid weather. But I could be wrong on that. Katherine [/QUOTE]
