[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7415806, member: 348"] On that same farm in Gloucestershire, we occasionally used a Limmy on the dairy cows. Not often as the calves usually went over term, got too big/hard calving, and never sold anywhere near as well as a BB. If I went into a pen with a newborn calf to spray it's navel, most breeds would quietly sit there while you walked up to it, lifted a leg/rolled it on it's back, and sprayed it's navel with Iodine. Almost every Lim, bred from the same dairy cows, would jump up as you opened the door, bellow, and sprint at the wall to try and scale it. They were, almost without exception, nutters born. That behaviour, at such a young age, is inherent and nothing whatsoever to do with learned behaviour from handling! For the record, we also used a few Salers on heifers, which were incredibly easy calking and very much more placid. [/QUOTE]
