[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1634535, member: 968"] The feedlot buyers dock them "because they can". The white on the body or bellie does not affect the CAB qualification. All they have to be is 50% black hided. It would take a lot of white chrome to be more than 50%. If I was just starting out, I would probably want to have a herd of SimAngus (commercial or registered). There is no better cow out there than your crossbred - and Simmental and Angus are about the best cross available. There can be quite a lot of temperament differences between an Angus herd and a Simmental one. Be sure you know your breeders' herd before purchasing cows. I have been breeding Simmental for about 50 years now. Love the breed. Love the excitement of not knowing exactly what color/markings that newborn is going to be. You gotta love going out and looking at your cows, so you have to have what YOU WANT to work with and look at. Making money is nice/mandatory - but you need to enjoy what you are doing, because it is a lot of work for little reward. [/QUOTE]
