[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1740534, member: 24027"] Welcome to CT. Commercial vs. registered doesn't define docility. My herd is commercial and they're dog gentle. Lowering her head & snorting is a sign of aggression. Possibly because she's fairly new to your place, possibly because you're initially in her blind spot when you enter the corral, possibly because of hormones. Take your pick. But I wouldn't let the kids around her and suggest you & your wife stay on guard, have an escape route &/or carry a hefty stick until you've established that behavior is unacceptable. If she lowers her head & snorts now, it will probably get worse after she calves. If it sounds like I'm bashing on your heifer, I'm not. She may end up being the best family pet/first calf heifer/4-H show cow ever. But her actions suggest keeping an eye on her. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
