[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1782779, member: 42731"] Dealt with brangus and other eared cattle off and on for 20+ years now. They vary from specimen to specimen. Some will come and crawl in your back pocket when you're trying to squirrel hunt and some will never let you get closer than four or five feet without being caught up. Both have their advantages and both are dependent on situation, genetics, and raising. You don't want to do too much extra cowboy sh** with them unless you're well-mounted, but most can be habituated to come to a bucket and you just work from there. I've had brangus and brangus cross and other brimmer cross cows you could hug on like a horse and hand feed kudzu. I've had others that must have smoked Marlboros because they sure thought themselves cowboy killers. Overall, any cow left in pure range conditions won't always be a cotton-head. They make FANTASTIC mothers. Anything with ear will only lose a calf she's already birthed by acts of God or overwhelming circumstance in my experience. They will lead you to a stashed calf if you stand on a high spot and bleat like a calf. You can and likely will have some Angus problems, brimmer blood isn't a lifelong vaccine against that.
