[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1181845, member: 1022"] I decided to try Shorthorn for the docility factor. I can see a time coming that I won't be able to jump up on the top rail of the pen to get out of the way. I will say that I'm pretty impressed with how this bull has held up at his age with the amount of cows he was with on nothing but grass. I fully expected to have to pull him off and feed him for a while between breeding the spring calvers and the fall calvers. Or even let him rest and put in another bull. I've got about thirty head of spring calvers and about 15 head of fall calvers with a bull that just turned two. Hoping for a better keeping, easy fleshing brood cow, that doesn't spend every waking hour trying to escape or plotting revenge for something. I'll let everyone know how much chrome shows up and if I wear out my calf jack. I'm not really worried about the chrome, I figured if the current trend holds, I can make some brood cows, and still be able to move the steers. I think purple spotted green steers would sell right now. [/QUOTE]
