[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1831562, member: 24816"] It happens. Some are just turned that way. Had a purebred Angus calf out of a docile registered cow and sired by an AI bull with top of the breed docility EPD's, calf was odd, he was tame enough some days to almost be petted and the next day he'd run through a fence if you got within 100 ft of him. He went under an alley way gate and busted out of a lot when trying to work him. The other calves just stood there and watched. Also some years later sold some bred commercial black and BWF heifers at a special sale. Couple days later got a call from one of the folks that bought some that they wanted to bring one back that was crazy. I agreed to it and we had a time getting her loaded back up after they brought her back. I don’t know what happened unless she got stirred up at the stockyards during the sale or something set her off. They said she went through some gates at the new place. Hadn’t noticed that kind of behavior with her here, she always blended in with the others ok. After we took her back to the stockyards to sell by the pound, they said after selling her she ran out of the ring and went full speed into a gate and broke her neck, went down dead instantly.
