[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 357779, member: 4353"] My biggest gripe I have with rotational crossbreeding is breeding replacements, In an ideal world with a couple of dozen pastures is will be great, in the real world there are droughts, floods, snow, trees falling over fences, etc. My point being that managing that type of crossbreeding system will get most small time operators in such a confusion that the result will be a just alternating different bulls and before long it will just be cattle of non-descript breeding. Another thing to consider is the fibre type of the meat of various breeds, some have a courser grain than others. British cattle typically have a finer grain than Bos Indicus and Continentals. While some breeds are known to be tough. I am not going to name those breeds as that will just start a fight, and I am sure much progress have been made with that regard, but the general perception of the public isn't likely to change soon. Just another reason CAB is so successfull, the made sure the public is aware of the quality of angus beef, and in the public's eye that's the only beef worth having. [/QUOTE]
