[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1781411, member: 39072"] Yes many select for docility , and in my opinion it affects mother ability. A extreme example are Holstein milk cows. In my opinion docility and motherabilty are antagonistic. I expect my cattle to defend and protect their calves. Many see this as a negative trait and select against it. To me good mothering is my just under fertility in priority. If a mother allows her calves to be approached by predators or allows other cows calves to bully or harass their offspring that is not ok with me. [/QUOTE]
