[QUOTE="smoothmule, post: 1589639, member: 25457"] I know some breeders that take the Gyr calves to bottle feed and even send them to petting zoos to make them dog gentle but I don’t do that, I let my cows raise them and I don’t interfere. Mine are So calm and easy to gentle but I know some lines, or individuals have a rogue temperament. I’ve been lucky I guess. I have a yearling heifer that’s never been messed with, penned her up and by the second day, she’s got the routine down and following me everywhere and letting me touch her here and there. She will be like my bull. Bought him directly from momma to wean here and I can literally touch any spot on his body. Excellent to handle, he even pushes cows back from me if they come in too close. I was planning to buy a bred Gyr cow but the guy said when she was penned, she freaked and was aggressive. That’s not a cow I’d ever breed. He was a good person to be so honest. Temperament means everything to me. [/QUOTE]
