[QUOTE="dun, post: 588255, member: 34"] When restarting from scratch this last time, I wanted either straight bred cattle with EPDs or animals that I was familiar with on both the dam and sires side. I would have preferred Shorthorns, but I couldn;t find any that fit my criteria for size and breeding. We looked at Red Polls, Herefords, Gelbviegh, Simmenthal and Red Angus. The plan from the start was to crossbreed, but I wanted a known quantity to start with. Because of the depth of the gene pool and the availability of animals that fit my criteria, we started back with Red Angus. Some we breed for registered, some we breed for crossbreds. Depends on what the cow has to offer. If we could get away with ear we would have started with SantaGertrudis. If it was just for fun and didn;t care about making money it would have been Gyr.
