[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1774278, member: 42731"] Breed plays a part in docility and handling, but there's got to be a compromise. Just as much as you can't [I] force[/I] a 1,500 lb animal to go into a hole they don't wanna go in, you also take a gamble having cattle that can't be cut off or hazed along without wanting to fight. I think environment is as key as anything, bucket cows respond to buckets, gently worked cattle respond to being worked gently, and range cattle that only ever get cowboyed will play your game in as much as that you can eventually get them somewhere but they aren't fun to be around on foot. A loooot of people buy a looooooooot of cattle they don't know the raising of, and then are surprised when a rope-crazy timber property cow puts Farmer Jim on a Life Flight because he turned his back on her in a two-chambered working pen.
