[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1236689, member: 1022"] My biggest problem with angus is that I have a pretty good demand for "local grassfed" in my area, and when I get too much angus, they seem to melt in the wintertime when I just feed hay. That is just comparing them to the Herefords that I have in the same conditions, and some of them don't do as good as others. I have no trouble marketing some holdovers if they are not what the market wants, but I can't market my whole herd as freezer beef, thus the need for a black animal. The last several angus bulls that I have used it seemed that the black hide was the only thing they brought to the table. Seems like some of the thick galloways would fix a lot of what's wrong in my black cattle, wonder if you could make a composite bull with Galloway and knock some of the hair off. [/QUOTE]
