[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 297840, member: 1258"] Caustic, I disagree with you that this study is horsefeathers. I think it is one reason that the Limousins have docility EPD's now, they probably have been losing some customers. Times are changing, as more of these studies come out I think we'll see the feedlot guys getting more interested in temperament. Cargill is sure paying attention and changing the way they do things. I think ranchers that pay attention to this now will be getting a higher profit a few years from now. Then those with bad tempered bulls will have a harder time moving them. We've never had a Limousin, the reason why is that we were told that the majority of the bulls are mean, true or not that is the reputation they have here. We did have Charolais bulls for over 10 years and never had a mean one. We bought them from a good breeder who culled both cows and bulls for temperament and spent lots of time with the bulls before he sold them. [/QUOTE]
