[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1683131, member: 24027"] Gotta say, I'm intrigued with the feedback on this thread. A lot of insightful perspective from many different operations & methods of management. That said, docility is extremely important in my world but I know my herd and which cows tend to get a little testy when they calve. It's not the end of the world if a calf doesn't get tagged/worked day 1; picking my battles. But from then on, they better be on their best behavior - around me. A distressed mama is completely understandable. Tearing up the corral is unacceptable. EPD's on bulls? There's always that one that looks great on paper but turns out to be bat shyt crazy. And yet, I've retained heifers from said bull (still have them). Environment, IMO, plays a bigger role in disposition. But back to Murray's original question: personally, I wouldn't keep that particular cow. But he may have legit reasons and probably why he posted in the first place. Plus, in our general area, the cull market is down. [/QUOTE]
