Bullit, I think you hit the nail on the head with the "Hardy and easy keepers" piece. These cows are gentle as heck around people (they come running and want me to scratch them), hell on 4 feet to any dog or predator within eyesight of the pasture, good milkers, great mamas, and so far giving good gain to nice looking black calves that will be able to finish nicely on grass alone if I wanted. We'll see what I get in the fall, but I can't really imagine I'm going to take a hit with how these calves look. I'm half considering getting a natural beef cert and when I get a little bigger selling to JBS 5 rivers or someone like that as natural grass fed Angus. They more than meet the requirements from what I can tell.
