I agree that bull choice has as much impact on disposition as it does on calving weights. How can a person blame a big calf 100% on the bull, but then turn around and have a crazy calf and not blame the bull for his share of the genetics? There are three factors that determine the outcomes of EVERY calf. The Bull, the Cow, the Environment.
