[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1800123, member: 42731"] What qualifies for favorite? Most profitable in my experience? What I think is coolest? What I would raise cow-calf if money were the same for everything? Easiest to keep and handle? All? I don't even know how much I can comment across the board, around 50% of my experience is Simmental bulls over brangus, simm-brangus, and a few other types of cross cows. I've worked around brahma cross and brahma cross F1s of various flavors a good bit. I've worked with rodeo stock a good bit. Most people that have hired me to work with cattle I didn't own have hired me to work over commercial mutt herds. If we're just listing what we really like, I really like anything with ear. I love char-brays, I really like brangus and sim-brahs, I like jersey x brahma, I love anything brahma x. I genuinely believe that they're better than anything purebred across the entire southern range and the deep south. I don't mind that they occasionally take a run at me, good cows are like women in that the best ones are a little standoffish if the issue really matters to them. I believe that intelligence is what makes eared cattle "harder" to work than non-eared cattle. They aren't "crazy" or "mean" they're just smart enough to want to get away from someone who excessively yells, shocks, hits, etc. I guess I really like longhorns, but I'd never keep a pasture full of pure bred ones. I uh... I really like beefmasters. [/QUOTE]
