[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1803642, member: 24816"] There’s a difference in 1/4 of a particular breed and a full or high percentage of it. For example a pure looking Hereford will get docked, but a half Hereford x Angus or black Simmental will bring good. Never had any Scotch Highlands and don’t plan on it. I would imagine though that a decent sized one bred down to 1/4 Highland and 3/4 Angus would be acceptable. We recently bought a Belted Galloway cow and heifer calf, not miniatures. Did not buy it because we thought it was the next big thing, but solely for a pasture ornament. The cow is too hairy for our liking, so definitely wouldn’t want many of them here too hot in the summer and muddy in the winter. If the calves retain the belts when bred to Angus or Simmental bulls, we’ll just feed them out for beef. No doubt they will be good beef animals but just not what the markets want to fit that mold.
