[QUOTE="rangergirl56m, post: 549071, member: 8130"] You must be a beef guy ;-) For the most part Holsteins really don't start getting unpredictable until they are about 2 or 3 years old and even then it depends on the bull...and yes, a halter is enough to control a 2 month old calf. It's not like these are vicious cattle that want to impale you and beat you into the ground. They are babies for heaven's sake! Besides, if you properly halter break an animal you shouldn't have to worry about it being a problem anyway. Camp ends Aug 16th. They really wont be big enough that they will be unhandleable. I feel the same way. Holsteins are probably my favorite cattle to work with. I've worked with others including both other dairy and beef breeds and I swear some of them are as dumb as a box of rocks. As a general rule of thumb, yes dairy bulls can be unpredictable and aggressive at times, but usually not until they are older. [/QUOTE]
