[QUOTE="bigag03, post: 804671, member: 9247"] This whole thread bothers me. Disposition is a trait just like BW, WW, YW, REA, Milk, color, or any other trait that we use to select the cattle that we use. I do not believe in single trait selection for disposition, just like I don't believe in it for any other trait. Cattle are not pets, and were never intended for that purpose...build good facilities and use common sense and even the craziest of animals can be handled. Now for all of you that like to jump to extremes, I am not advocating keeping dangerous animals around at the expense of yourself or the operation, but I do believe that we have gotten a little soft in our determination of what "good" disposition means. To this specific situation, turn the bull out and treat him like a bull, not a pet. There is NO disposition problem with this bull. As has been said many times quit messing with him and whack him if needed. However, if you will turn this bull into a bigger pen with a companion and leave him alone, there will be no problem.
