I am kind of a mix of all of them but I guess I am most like the Calm Connector.

Animals seem to trust me more then my siblings. When we weaned the calves the craziest one was a black heifer named Nugget and before weaning I couldn't even get within 6 feet of her without her running away but when we took her away from her mama I would go and sit out there with Nugget and just talk to her and after a couple weeks she would let me pet her but she wouldn't let my siblings pet her.

Animals will usually just listen to me better then my siblings. Like when we halter the steers after they haven't been lead all winter my steer almost always leads the best so my parents tell me i have to lead my little sisters steer because he listens better to me then my sister.
2 years ago I had a pig named Biscuit and she was just really calm and she wouldn't run and she would do what I asked her to do and the same year my sister had a pig named Berkley and i have no idea what she did to that pig but Berkley was so awful that my sister had to pay me to train her. Berkley would try to run everywhere and she didn't listen at all. But after a month of training Berkley started listening to me. Berkley still had moments when she would forget everything I did with her and turn into a terror again but for the most part she did good after I worked with her.
This year my sister had a pig named Cookie and he wouldn't make it 10 feet away from his pen before he tried to run back to his pen. I have no idea what my sister does to make her pigs act like that I have watched her and I can't see her do anything to them that would make them be like that but I know it is my sister messing them up. After the first week my pigs will for the most part do what I want but my sisters pigs will turn into terrors and need a bunch of extra work. well I got paid again to train Cookie for my sister and i got him listening extremely well. Cookie was amazing after I took over training he would walk with his head up nice and he would go a normal speed instead of running and he wouldn't try to run back to his pen. Cookie was a really nice looking pig he got 4th place in his class at state fair.
