[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1809323, member: 9933"] Ky Hills Absolute has a docility EPD of 18 with a 93% accuracy. That is not exactly a great docility EPD. I suspect your cow being sired by TC Franklin and then bred to Absolute, resulted in a throw back to some of the crazier attitudes of the past (and sometimes the present). I have quite a bit of EXT in my cows backgrounds, and I get a few wild calves every year, but since most calves are pretty laid back, they usually come around and are not too bad to work with. I just note who they are and if I don't pick them for replacements I avoid future problems. I report that information on every single calf to the AAA. It helps to increase future accuracy. I wish every breeder did it. You did the right thing getting rid of them when you did. [/QUOTE]
