[QUOTE="BC, post: 824252, member: 67"] Welcome. I went back and re-read your original post and picked up that this will be a youth project in southeast Texas. Check out the rules on the shows you plan to attend and what breed shows are there. Some have classes for crossbreds and composites and others don't. Not all breeds have enough cattle to make a breed show. Another consideration that you have not mentioned is what do the various breeds offer through their junior breed associations. Although I would hope that you would look at Santa Gertrudis, they were not on your short list. From your list, I would suggest that you look at Hereford for southeast Texas. My thinking is the Hereford breed is a good gentle breed for beginners and after you retire from showing, they can be bred a number of ways to produce good replacement females (Brahman, Brangus, Santa Gertrudis, Beefmaster, Red Brangus, etc) that are adapted to your area.
