[QUOTE="dun, post: 291625, member: 34"] Although it's frequently laaid at them being bottle fed, I think there's a lot more to it then that. Out of 10 bull calves raised together one year (hoping for a replacement), when they hit about 8-9 months a couple of them turned into raving maniacs and would attack anything. By the time they turned yearlings, only 2 were still calm, easy to handle and not alwasy on the prod. Those 2 were kept and used as herd bulls. Now that they're 18 months, one has started to get beliigerant, i.e. snot slinging, head shaking, gorund pawing. After a thorough education with a pink sorting cane he now turns tail anytime he sees the pink cane. The other one is layed back and goes about his business of checking out the ladys and breeding. Turns out that the calm bull is the only one sired by there old herd bull Darrell. Darrell stuck around till he was 4-5 years old before he broke down in the legs and went to the sale barn. The point of that whole babble was that although raising a bottle bull may contribute some, genetics still enters into the picture. dun [/QUOTE]
