A long time ago, dad read an article that talked about the position of the swirl in a cows face hair and disposition. The theory was that embryonic development the area of the brain for temperament happened at about the same time that fur orientation was being determined and that the lower the swirl, the calmer the cow. The higher the swirl, the more likely she is a crazy cow to work with. Over the years we have always paid attention to it, even using it as tie breaker on weather or not to keep a heifer, or even give a cow another chance..... Walking through the calving pen tonight it struck me that the one heifer that had heads up, had a swirl above the level of her eye...... Anyone else ever notice this or hear of this or even pay attention.
