In regards to Leroy calves, they are without any doubt the quietest calves I have ever worked with. I weaned several last fall and when I tied them up for the first time, they never even pulled on the halter. A couple of Leroy heifers were halter broke from the moment they saw a halter. The Dunbeacon herd in Australia, wanted to test Leroy in their herd, so they purchased 300 doses to test him against some other herd sires. ( I really like the way the Aussie's test a new sire,....none of this buying 5 or 10 straws). They now have their third crop of Leroys on the ground and Ian McDowall phoned me a few weeks ago to let me know that they were featuring several Leroy sons in their bull sale coming up soon. He said that they have been raising purebred Shorthorns on that farm since the 1870s and he thinks the Leroy calves are the best dispositions they have ever had.
Here is a picture of a Gus heifer that Stumpy sent me. I have a couple others here, but I am still looking for them.
