[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 62623, member: 61"] I had decided a while back that if I were to go strictly commercial I wouldn't use continental at all. Continentals will give you more muscle, less fat, and less marb (as a general rule). The first two are not bad by any means but the last is very important also. Why not use a Hereford? Keep the calving ease, gain hybrid vigor, keep the maternal, moderate size, and your cattle have the ability to potentially meet requirements for more branded beef programs. You can rotate the two breeds in your bulls every few years and develop consistency while keeping most of the vigor. [/QUOTE]
