Hello,
I'm new to cattle and would like to know if anyone has any opinion as to what the most tame breed would be from the list below:
Angus
Brahma
Brangus
Hereford
Beefmaster
Charolais
The reason I ask is because I have at least one of the above cows. When I started out about a year ago I heard so much about different breeds that I wanted to find out for myself and thus bought the cows from different places. None are registered. I'm just going by what the sellers told me.
I want to keep cows that are the least mean. I've already been chased by one of my brahma cross twice and it wasn't fun. But I don't know if it was just that individual cow or attributed to the breed. Someone one another post said brahmas will be aggressive at times. None of the others even act threating but it may just be because some don't have a calf yet. I've found that herefords to be quite friendly and the least aggressive even with a newborn calf.
However, I would like to hear from more experienced cattle people.
Thanks,
Andrew
