Not everybody likes any breed. Personally, I like tigers.
Some like em, some don't.

Damage Report from (Tigerstripe) Spring Vaccination Roundup:
One fractured pinky finger (mine) - caught between headgate handle and nearby post.
One destroyed corral gate
10 foot section of torn down barbwire fencing.
Squeeze chute knocked off the scale load bars and had to be repositioned three times.
Two "cowboys" put over the corral fence by upset mommas.
Otherwise no major deaths or injuries, and we should be good until the fall weaning.

I am rolling good report. I think on some of the rodeos I have been to with these gals when I read some of the post on here from the beginners.
I think the girls were just anxious to get on the scales and show off.
Bull you might be able to post on the beginners board I can't pet my cows and see if you can get some advice.

I started with one a few years back she is a daughter of Painted Tiger(Beefmaster) (now I have several tiger stripped) her disposition is unlike any of my others, she throws really great calves and they also get their mothers disposition and attitude. She is going to like out the rest of her live happy and fat in South Texas. She's dark red and you can only see her stripes when the sun is out other than that she looks like a typical (if there is one) red Beefy. Love that gal!

I like them. But, I know my limitations and abilities, so I don't have any, for their sake as well as mine. ;-)

I don't feel that they have a "bad disposition". They are just different. They are very protective mothers, seem to me to be more "alert" than other types perhaps even a bit more sensitive to stimuli.
But, that's just my opinion.

Maybe thoses that raise um can can give you a better idea of their temperment. its the hybrid vigor that makes um seem squirrely .but with out it they wouldnt be what they are. but they are as sharp as a tack

I might have got this wrong but I thought the people that liked them liked them for the Brahman and Milk, only downside was disposition?

We just put dogs on them when they get wild hairs. That makes them see the world a little differently. I've seen them as gentle as puppy dogs with backyard farmers who hand raise them too. A man can make money with them, and they're tough as nails but they can be very protective. Seems to me thay have a lot more predator evasion instinct. Had plenty of snot blown on my back pockets by them. But I still like them. They bring a calf to the pens every year no matter what you throw at them. Heat, humidity, hurricanes, drought, pests... all last years news to a tigerstripe.

It's my understanding that they make great range cows because they are so protective and do a better job of fending off predators than some other breeds or crosses might.

I like them... as far as calving, raising a calf, keeping a good BCM, but otherwise I would as soon go and get a rootcanal as to have to work them!
