[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1692494, member: 12607"] My Braunvieh bulls were in the liquid Nitrogen tank, so I can't speak to their docility, though I've corresponded at length with the owner of Dragon and he was puppy-dog gentle. They had some Northstar Vernon (the other BV bull we used) offspring that were a little 'hot'... and she warned me about that - but they also had a full sib sister to Vernon, that was virtually a pet. None of the heifers we kept were anything but gentle... but we'd spent 20 years culling out any wild or crazy genetics from our herd. I won't say some Brahman influence is not something to consider for you in SC. Growing up in south AL... I used to think (40 yrs ago) that all cows oughta be at least 1/4, if not 1/2 Brahman. But... I moved north to TN to practice vet medicine... and the more I worked with them(mostly Beefmasters & Santa Gertrudis), the less I wanted... and, up here in KY (and MO before here)... we don't really need any 'ear'... but... I still like the looks of 'em. But... I like Bloodhounds and Nubian goats, too, if that tells you anything. But... today, here, I'd take a Braunvieh bull any day. [/QUOTE]
