[QUOTE="TexBrangus, post: 552060, member: 8358"] I will try to help I have been in the bussiness a few years, but have been around buckers for several years. Let me start off saying just because cattle are considered bucking stock does not mean they are wild and crazy. Breeders actually perfer their cattle to be easy to handle. We all know the easier to handle our cattle the less stress it is on them. What we do perfer is athletism and most of all genetics.I have been around the top 45 PBR (Profesional Bull Rider) bulls at one time and all but a hand full were very gentile. A large percentage would let you touch them while they ate in the hay racks. These bulls are worked every week of their lifes sometimes daily. They are athletes and they know when it is "Game time". Yes, their are some out there that would kill you if given the chance. More often the females are the one with a little more atitude. Every bucking stock cow I have been around wants nothing to do with you in the pasture. The only time I have had any problem is while working theses cattle in small pens. It seems to me these cows are so nervous their "flight or fight" kicks in. Yes, you do need good working pens and a few cc's of ACE when trying to AI or embryo tranfer these girls. It is like I said earlier the bucking stock industry has change from mean, wild and crazy to easy to handle, athletic and genetics. The money from raising this kind of cattle is like anything else, it come from the entertainment industry.
