[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 296624, member: 1682"] Jersey bulls are just as mean or even worse than Holsteins. All has to do with the maternal aspect of the breeds. Dairy cattle are highly maternal and paternal, so you get great cows with lots of milk, but also bulls whose sole existence is to breed and kill anything that might disrupt that lifestyle. While I was nightwatchman at the local stockyards one day last year, I checked in on a 3 year old Holstein bull in one of the pens. Just for kicks, I gave him the evil eye just to see what would happen. I swear that bull gave me the evil eye back and would have gladly beaten the snot out of me if I had went into the pen..:P Brown Swiss are a pain because the calves don't take to the bucket feeding as well as any other breed. A good heifer calf with a good pedigree would probably cost you around $700-1000 US I would say. [/QUOTE]
