[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 991909, member: 1715"] You can sort for docility, and there is an EPD for it, so I don't see where it should to be an issue. Our Limi bulls were milk cow gentle because the breeder selected for it. Our Balancer bull tolerates some handling, and when he has had enough he walks up to you, bellows, and then we usually let him out of the pen. :nod: I bought 2 limi flex heifers out of a Wulf bloodline. One was a herd quitter, and the other is a top cow. They looked much better than average, and had a 50% retention is typical for me with purchased heifers. I don't think there is an EPD for mothering, and I have had issues with a lack of this from some dual purpose Continental cows. Things seem to go much easier with some Herf or SH blood in the cow herd. I think GV over Herf or BWF would be the best combination if you retain heifers. [/QUOTE]
