[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 792542, member: 14661"] I haven't dealt with Red Angus in years but from what I remember anything from Buffalo Creek was suposed to be above average on temperment. Hobo was a BC bull and I think???? chateau was as well? One of the first herds that I worked with when I started AI for a living used Hobo on just about everything. The cows would chase you around the corral to stay out of the chute and then crawl out of it once you got them there but those Hobo calves on their sides were pretty cool with whatever you had in mind. That being said, with those good gelbvieh cows I think it would be hard to make a choice that would give you bad tempers in one generation. Even if the calf's genetics aren't ideal temperment-wise they'll learn how to react to certain situations from momma. Gentle handling will help a great deal no matter what the genetics. Bulls are pretty much just bulls unless they're downright mean and that's fairly rare. You can't trust them any more than you can force them to do anything...which you can't. Your worst nightmare is a bull that you trust enough to have your family around him. So if Red Angus is your choice then either buy a bull that you can tolerate for a while or consider AI. I recomend AI but I have to admit that I'm somewhat biased. [/QUOTE]
