[QUOTE="TCFC, post: 296775, member: 1365"] I am completely ignorant when it comes to cattle... really just here to try to learn more... but this statement didn't really make sense to me... Haven't dairy cattle had the maternal nature bred out of them in favour of production... they have their calves taken away very shortly after birth and if a cow was highly maternal, wouldn't it be a problem to take their calves away and expect her to be alright with it not be stressed and drop in production? Maybe this is the stupidest question ever... who knows. I know that you want a beef cow to be maternal because she has to raise her calf... but a dairy cow?? If someone could better explain this statement that would be awesome :) And from what I have been forewarned, Jersey Bulls are the nastiest things on four legs, but I don't know about the cows... are they similar in nature? The Jersey cows we have at school don't seem rank, but they get handled a lot... TCFC [/QUOTE]
