[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1290902, member: 14585"] If you don't think disposition is genetic then all breeds must be the same and environment is the only factor. Too hard to measure and too many variables? That can be said for just about every trait from calving ease to carcass value. Culling 2 heifers solely for temperament from same sire isn't a concern? An A.I. sire can influence entire breed, problems need to be recognized and always the sooner the better. Early culling for reproduction, temperament or bad udder affects profit. How about reporting numbers leaving herd and include reason and age at culling? The information should be used to improve reliability of other measurements and to improve the reliability of docility scores and stayability. Or you can say, no need to worry about hereford disposition because All herefords are gentle and quiet unless mishandled. And the 2 heifers culled solely for temperament from the same hereford sire was just a coincidence and everything the Angus guys do is not to try to improve their breed, but just a marketing ploy with the underlying intent of destroying red cattle.
