Best Answer

Because many of the ranchers wanted to keep their herds purebred. It's not that crossbreeding is bad in itself, it's just that ranchers having a purebred herd didn't want any "surprises" come spring, or have any trouble with calving cows.

What is the nastiest breed of cattle?

This all depends on who you're asking this to. Some will say that Herefords can be the most calmest breed but have some of the most nastiest cattle out there. I hear more complaints about bad temperament in Chianina, Limousin, Charolais, and Brahman cattle. Angus and Red Angus cattle can have some wicked cattle too. The nasties depend on environment, how they were raised, and genetics.
