[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 62966, member: 587"] I guess it should be no surprise that I think you've made a good choice. I agree that every breed has its crazies. Having said that, I was raised around cattle, and I have personally seen only two whiteface cows that were mean. One was a Jersey cross that was a milk cow, and the other was a registered Hereford. The registered cow was docile enough, but she didn't like children. The Jersey cross chased me across a holding pen with her head against my rear when I was a boy; she was Grandpa's milk cow, and was that way when she had a calf. When my uncle took over grandpa's herd, and astonished the old man by sticking first a limo, then a Brangus bull on his Hereford cows, we were never as comfortable walking to the pond to fish after that, because those bulls acted unfriendly. My uncle hired me to feed hay during the winter, and that is one reason I still am not fond of limos. That bull was so aggressive acting when I was trying to feed that I carried a weapon. He would get in front of the barn door where I could hardly get out, and threaten me, especially if I didn't get hay to him fast enough. I have walked through a number of registered Hereford herds. They have been without exception non-threatening and docile, and most of them you can walk up to and lay a hand on them. [/QUOTE]
