[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1652878, member: 40587"] Yep, and if you read the info on the Black Hereford web site, they say that " Herefords are probably the most docile docile cattle of all, and are very good mommas. Angus cows are also good mommas...sometimes TOO good.. when it comes to handling their new-born calves. Their goal was to develop a cow with the docility of the Hereford, only with a dominant black gene". I remember growing up, angus cows I had raised from birth, handled, showed, one or two bottle fed, that would get in your pocket in a split second once they dropped their calf. Same with the dog, or a horse or pony. .we were all monsters hell-bent on eating their new babies!! As the weeks went by, they'd gradually settle down and return to being docile. But the Herefords we had from time to time, were as gentle as the Holsteins in my neighbor's dairy. They'd let you handle the calves the day you found them. Hell,. my little brother had a Hereford show heifer, that went into our mostly angus herd after show season, that would. .I swear....bring her calf up to him to show him when she had one every year!! Now, his hand-feeding her a banana Moonpie every time he went to the pasture,. may have been a factor, as well. :cool: [/QUOTE]
