The objective of this study was to compare adrenal responsiveness to stimulation with exogenous ACTH, in calm and temperamental heifers. Two-year old, spring born Brahman heifers comprised the two temperament groups that were selected using exit velocity (EV). The calm (C) and temperamental (T) groups consisted of the 6 slowest (EV=1.05±.05 m/sec) and 6 fastest (EV=3.14±0.22 m/sec) two-year old...
