I live the N Texas area and started with Beefmaster. They are good cattle that are easy to deal with. If you aren't in it for a profit then they are fine. My problem is that I am trying to make a profit. Everytime I went to sell I would get docked anywhere from 20 to 50 cents per pound. That can add up pretty quickly. In fact I have a about 7 I an interested in selling for that reason. They are great cows and very gentle, but I am having better returns with my herefords and angus.
