    Bought two saler weanlings one time. They were mad, managed to quiten them a bit by keeping them with bucket reared cattle & breaking ash leaves to feed to them. They would walk anywhere behind me once they seen no one else. Sold them in the Mart at 760kgs and they weren't anywhere near fit to kill. Had a few more bucket fed ones over the years, grow into very big cattle but hard to finish.

    Its funny I had 2 bullocks the exact same they would walk behind me no problem to move they'd follow the bucket of nuts but if anyone else tried to do anything or they even seen anyone else forget it, that was the problem testing. And the same as that impossible to put flesh on they only grew up.

    Never had salers so no experience but why would anyone even contemplate them if they’re that bad????

    From my experience there very headstrong and if they don't want to do something it's very hard to force them, much like a Limousine imo. I wouldn't think there's many more wild Saler's than any other breed just that a wild Saler tends to leave even a wild LM looking like a pet lamb. With both LM and SA in my experience you'll have more success walking ahead of them with a bucket as opposed to going behind them with a stick. You lead and hopefully they'll follow as opposed to vice versa.

    Have a few cows here with saler breeding ( great cows to calve, good udders and teats with enough milk without too much iykwim, ) I find they're pure pets for me on my own but very flighty if they see stranger. Not wild in the sense you'd be afraid of them but your gates and walls would want to be a good height
