[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1809327, member: 24816"] I believe docility is inherited as much as environmental or management related. We like to maintain cattle that come when called and that don’t flip out and climb the wall when trying to work with them. Ours are not pets, they will not generally let you put a hand on them with the exception of 1 or 2, most will ease away at about arms length. I definitely don’t want any that throw up their heads and run off or at you. I’ve found that if a cow is wild and nervous it’s a good chance that her calves will be too. If a cow is calm same thing good chance they will be also. I do believe that the bull contributes as well and sometimes there is a throwback that comes through that no matter how good the cow is and how your management is the calf is going to be affected by those genetics behind them and EPD’s are just not an accurate prediction without a truthful, high accuracy. I think a lot of times there’s a difference in what people tolerate, translates to how they record. [/QUOTE]
