[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 282195, member: 4892"] S.R.R. - I guess I really ought to try some pure highland beef before I get started eh :-)? So far I've only hung out with the cattle and decided that I like their personality and looks :-). Are straight Highlands not as good eating as Highland crosses? Some of the reasons I picked Highlands over other cattle were: - They are a heritage breed - may not be as commercially viable vs. Angus for example but I felt that I could do my part by maintaining a healthy gene pool through a hobby operation. - Easy calving (I'm told) - they've been selected for this vs. a more muscled breed like the Angus. I guess if pure Highland beef is not tasty then I will have to re-evaluate these goals. [/QUOTE]
