Chillin' with the herd
Of the beef breeds the Scotch Highland and Galloways are by far the most docile and easy to handle, the Herefords are nice to work with but the two Gaels are by far the gentlest, close to them is the Dexter, all three are easy to halter break.
The Texas Longhorn if worked with gets very gentle also, numerous TL steers have become very good saddle mounts, and the Dickinson Ranch in Ohio had one of their major bulls saddle trained and used in parades, exhibitions and many many appearances including inSIDE tv studios. Google Dickinson Cattle Company , in Ohio.
Of the dairy breeds, Brown Swiss the best, followed by Gurnsey then Holstein and milking Shorthorn. Milking Devons if you can find them are super nice to work with.
Lots of choices, I'd stay away from Angus, Brahmas if worked with handle very nicely.
Good luck and have fun.
