[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1780802, member: 42463"] LOL... I went to a PB Angus bull sale in Faith, SD and the bulls were some of the best I've seen of the breed. The auction house began the sale with an announcement of a long time local customer's death, and they said they would be donating a bull to the family. The sale was going fine and the bulls bringing high prices... and they opened the gate to the sale ring after one of the bulls sold and he was exiting... and the next bull literally jumped through the entry gate, hit the ground once, and bounced out the exit with the previous sold bull. The auctioneer laughed and said that was the bull being donated... I don't know if they did the family any favors choosing to donate that bull. I felt it was kind of a raw deal. The thing is, all the animals were out in the pens before the sale and we were all invited into those pens to inspect the bulls before the sale. There were a few that nosed me, most ignored me, and there were a few that liked their personal space. None seemed especially flighty. But damn... that bull wasn't in the ring for more than a second. I don't judge breeds by other's experience anymore than I judge them by the color of their hair. My experience with continentals is my own, and anyone having different experiences may have not done their due diligence. As many cattle as I've had... I doubt my experience was luck. [/QUOTE]
