[QUOTE="Rossymons, post: 7563501, member: 46510"] Had a very interesting discussion with someone earlier today about cow visits, milking permissions, refusals etc or as they called it "robot aggression". Now there will be some farms where more human interaction occurs than others - this could be cows over fed, building design or whatever else. But every herd will have certain cows that get higher milking visits, higher refusal rate, quicker entrance and exit times and less hesitation. If there was a genetic link to this "aggressive" trait would it be something that breeders would be interested in along with other friendly traits such as milking speed, teat length and position?
