    Re: [RC] Cuddles - Lisa Redmond


    Mooooooooo!  LOL
    
    Shows just how much has changed with intensive breeding programs in 20
    years, doesn't it?  I'm still amazed that there are cows consistently
    producing 125-130 lbs of milk a day during peak lactation.  Mind-boggling.
    
    I have seen another Hereford bull like that--it was bred by Randy Owens of
    the group Alabama, and donated to Clemson University while I was in grad
    school.  He loved attention, and one of his favorite games was to follow me
    up and down the fence line when I was moving horses back and forth between
    my work area and their pastures.  He'd bounce around on his feet like a
    lamb--funny enough in an adult sheep, absolutely hysterical in a full-grown
    bull....but, I think he was hand-raised, or at least spoiled rotten as a
    calf.  Most bulls grow out of that and into their testosterone, but
    Herefords for some reason occasionally don't.
    
    I adore horses with puppydog temperaments....I think it's important to have
    one that has a sense of fun about being involved in sport horse events.
    Part of that is related to the fact that in endurance, and in other types of
    horse stuff we like to do we spend copious amounts of time with the rascals.
    Leave the moody animals to the racing ppl.  I want one that's always in a
    Hi! I'm ready to go!  mood.  The kind that gives you that wide-eyed innocent
    look while plotting to untie your sneakers or steal whatever's sticking out
    or your back pocket at the next possible moment.
