Are you sure Randy? We once had an old Gally cow that bit the vet on the shoulder when he was pregchecking the cow in front. Good luck with your sale!

I know I'm reading this wrong, but what was he doing preg checking her from the front for!

The biter was the next in line waiting her turn to be checked. She stuck her head over a gate and caught his shoulder as he checked the one in the squeeze.

We've been using those openers for 4 crops and couldn't be any happier.Put down 80-100pds n and haven't seen any evidence of seed burn.We typically seed at 4.5-5 mph.They are also a very long lasting opener.

I knew an old vet that said "you can tell by the look in her eye"

That's interesting. I had a cow try to bite me once to and she was a Galloway x Hereford. She was a little high strung anyway and we had her in the chute trying to tag her and she snapped at me. Just missed my hand. Never seen anything like it before.

Randy will be cursing me now turning a thread into how wild Galloways are. We had Galloways for a long time and if you once work with them they are one of the quietest, level headed breeds you will find. I think as a rule wild cattle are a result of ignorant handling rather than breed.

I don't think overall thay have a bad temperament. I got half a dozen pairs from the Horvey's about five years back. I liked the black ones but I found the calves off the white ones really got docked at market. Of the original six, I have one left. One got hit by lightning, One came in open and ended up in a friend's freezer and the three white ones, I swapped to a guy for some black angus. I wish him good luck. The one black one I have left is a real good cow and has a nice calf every year.
