[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1508634, member: 12520"] Blonde d'Aquitaine would be my first choice. Great mothers, udders that last forever, popping big steer calves. All you need to do is be vigilant and keep frame size from creeping up, but in what breed is that not the case? Only problem (weakness) we had with them is that most order buyers aren't familiar enough with them to give a consistent price. Those that bought them laughed all the way to the bank. Second choice is Simmental, and the best cross I've ever been around is Simmie x Blonde. I think it's all about making the best cows possible, when you do that then there is no reason for terminal crosses ( I absolutely hate that term) and such. I don't mind a little Red Angus, but try to keep it under 1/4, although I have been breaking that rule a little more often lately. I don't run the Blondes bulls anymore, been running Simmie, Simmie x RA, and the odd straight R/A on the herd. I like good cows where I see them, there tends to be more difference within breeds than between them. [/QUOTE]
