[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 714104, member: 391"] [i]"I totally agree on one hand, I have seen how poor handlers can turn it into a gong show. However, I have been in a number of herds that get very excited when another person enters the picture. The owner invariably says "that's funny I can walk right up to them and scratch them when I'm alone." Do these cattle actually have a good temperament, or are they simply used to the person that is most often around them? I would argue that the cattle have poor temperaments that are masked by the familiarity of the owner. I have also been in herds that don't even notice strangers in the herd; those herds are actually quiet.[/quote][/i] I totally agree-- if you really want to know genetically what you are throwing -talk to the people that buy your calves-- they will revert to their baser instincts. Also I am a firm believer in "the signs"-- some days even the quietest cattle are nervy. [/QUOTE]
