[QUOTE="DRSCfarm, post: 824180, member: 16471"] Thanks for your information everyone!! After doing more research on the breeds available in my area (Southeast Texas), I have decided on a Charolais, Shorthorn, or Hereford. I have found quite a few breeders with nice heifers for sale. Personally, looking at it from a new owner's standpoint, I think crossbred cattle would be nice for meat quality, but registered cattle of pure bred bloodlines (or, for example, Shorthorn Plus) should be the ones we show. It just seems logical to me. I have shown horses for quite a while. We have registered classes and "grade" classes for horses without papers. The grade classes are much smaller with horses of lesser quality. Not to say that crossbred cattle are any lesser quality, but logically as show animals they would not be worth as much without registration papers. I have horses that are not registered, I still love them, but they are not worth the same as a registered horse of their same caliber. Just my :2cents: from an uneducated standpoint ;-) Once again, I would like to thank everyone for you input. [/QUOTE]
