We started out with Herefords - nice docile creatures. Then we got Brahma and Brangus bulls and saved heifers that they sired. The docile nature eventually faded away, but I was young and didn't mind. Now that I'm old I ship anything that looks even slightly crossways at me. Toss your head twice and I'm writing your number down - you're a goner. I sent two to the sale barn last Tuesday. They were whiteface, but had a testy nature about them. Two 1200 pound old cows brought $70 and $70.50 cwt. I remember when we were thrilled with $30 cwt on an old cow.
I should mention, before someone else does, that most of the Brangus cross are very peaceful creatures out in the open. But they are very likely to tear the barn apart when you close a gate behind them.
Herefords were on every farm when I was a kid. Then they started turning into black baldies - then eventually solid black. Now the big boys have cattle that look like a speckled pup. I don't even know how to describe the color of them. I'm not criticizing - these guys know what they are doing, and I respect their advice.
I've been around cattle my entire life, and I know very little about them.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
