[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1627727, member: 33533"] I breed red polls, a fairly small breed. One of my reasons for getting into them was to help save a dying breed. The problem you will have is sourcing genetics, everything seems to be related and there is no new genetics to breed from. Then what is available can have some pretty ordinary traits and you cannot find the genetics to improve and if you do some other ordinary traits come as part of the package. It is very frustrating at times and your cull rate will be extremely high. Then after all the work you get nothing for them and can't sell any bulls. If it is a sideline as an intetest like it is for me no worries, but if you need to make a few dollars and not just break even best look for some angus or simmental. [/QUOTE]
