[QUOTE="fhug, post: 1566342, member: 32689"] Some of these posts have me laughing out loud. We have raised a lot bulls here for a long time. Disposition of the bulls (and females) we sell is one of the reasons we have a lot of repeat customers. Heck, we even have one guy who sent us a video of him in the pasture riding one of the bulls we sold him as a three year old like a horse around his cows. (I think that is crazy myself, but shows his disposition.) I can tell you we have never picked one up and thrown it in the straw, tipped them over, bulldog them or anything else to show them we are "bigger" than they are. I don't know of any other breeders we are friends with that do that either. We used to halter break a few every year because a couple of consignment sales we sold at required it at one time, but have not halter broke any for about 10 years. All that being said. even bulls we can walk up and scratch their back we always keep an eye on. I won't go in a pen with a bull without a stick and an escape plan, regardless of the breed. Disposition is part heritable, part environmental. It is pretty rare that someone can correct the heritable part in cattle very much. The best way to correct the heritable part is to eliminate the problems. No animal is worth getting someone injured or killed, just to keep them in the herd. [/QUOTE]
