[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1160367, member: 14661"] I've been around two sets of registered gerts. One set was raised here on the valley floor in ideal conditions for pet cattle and they were so waspy it was a balancing act between fight or flight just walking out to toss hay over the fence. That set started getting crossed with hereford in an effort to tone them down a little and has since been sold and replaced. The other set was up in some nasty country near where my cows run and they were handled like ranch cattle and were still scratch behind the ear gentle. I helped that owner brand one time and those cows gathered themselves when they saw us coming and sorted themselves when we got them to the corrals. After branding they grabbed their calves and moseyed back up the hill like they hadn't been handled at all. The only downside to that bunch was they were pretty milky for this area and needed a little help to breed up. [/QUOTE]
