[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1290792, member: 20580"] Poor disposition in any animal is a good reason to send them off. They just aren't worth the problems no matter how good they are. Sent a bred heifer off last fall that was pretty high strung - she wasn't agressive but she sure didn't like being around people or in smaller confined areas. She was OK when running with the big group in the pasture as long as she kept you at a safe distance but was nutty as hell when in a smaller group where she couldn't blend in and hide amongst the herd. We hoped maybe as she matured as a heifer maybe she would calm down and grow out of it but it was obvious by the fall that wasn't going to be the case and didn't want to mess with calving her out. Just not worth the safety risks to keep cattle you can't trust being around when you are working them, especially when some of the people handling them are getting older. [/QUOTE]
