| Abstract |
"Temperament" is defined as an animal's behavioural response to handling by humans. Experiments were conducted in zebu-derived herds grazed at pasture in the dry tropics of Central Queensland, to: l)determine the best method of measuring temperament; 2)investigate whether temperament can be manipulated by genetic or non-genetic means; 3 )identify genetic and environmental factors that affect temperament; 4 )estimate relationships between temperament and productive and adaptive traits; S)calculate effects of inbreeding on temperament and productive and adaptive traits; and 6)determine responses to selection for temperament, high EBV for weight at 600 days and low EBV for rectal temperature.
