I've got a very small fold of Highland cattle here in the states and I'd just like to say that I love the bull and the girls. Very nice looking animals.

Here's my Highland calf born on 4/12/08.

I'm buying some Highland cattle from a fairly local farm. I did my homework and basically liked everything I heard about the Highlands (I'm not a commercial beef guy before anybody explains to me that Angus is more profitable) but I wanted to taste some of the beef. I wasn't overly impressed...

TN, if I read you wrong and you weren't being sarcastic and condescending, then I sincerely apologize. I'm not a troll and it's not my intention to start something. I'm a newbie to cattle and to this board and I've gotten some very good advice by the kind folks on this board already. It just...

Thanks for the warning. As a stranger, I surely wouldn't want you to get angry at me. :o

Must you always be obnoxious? My brother isn't a cattleman, never owned them and hasn't spent much time around them. He saw what he believed to be a "cool cow" at the state fair and called me to tell me about them. It had been a week since he had been there and probably had never heard of...

Alice, I found lots of matches for gratuite too so I figured he wasn't pulling my leg but still no idea what he was talking about. TN, didn't even think about Santa Gertrudis, you might be right. I'll pass the link on to my bro and see if that's what he saw. As far as being red, I didn't see...

Is this a real breed of cattle? A beef breed? My brother was at the NY State Fair last week and saw a Brahman cross cattle that he said he believed was called Faint Gratuite. He said they were as gentle as could be and really neat looking. I've done a few Google searches and can't find...

Thanks again for all the responses and insight. I certainly appreciate it and have done some more reading on Holstein beef production from a few of the universities. I'm still not sure if I'll do it or not but it's been very interesting.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm brand new at this and sure to make some mistakes and learn through the school of hard knocks. As I said, I'm not in it for the money but neither am I a rich guy that simply wants to throw his money away for the sake of a hobby. I guess I still have to figure...

I recognize that I'd never get rich raising Holstein beef. Likewise, I recognize that they probably don't yield as well as many beef breeds. What I'm interested in is raising some steers, primarily for myself and a few friends and family and wonder if Holsteins make any sense. I suspect that...
