Breeds Poll

[Jake]

it's been quite a while since anybody's asked for everyone's favorite and least favorite breeds and considering the mass amount of new comers I thought I'd through it out there.

What are you 3 favorite and then your 3 least favorite breeds. No preachin' or bashin' just state it and be done with it.

Like
1. Angus
2. Red Angus
3. Hereford

Dislike
1. Limmis
2. Chianina
3. Bramers

madbeancutter, just take the Maines off and put the brangus on in their place. Then you would have the 3 best choices for what you want.
Looks like you really don't like the Limmis hu. :lol: :lol: :lol:

LA,
Nope... I really don't.

As for Maines... The boss' herd is 85% Maine or Maine Angus X and they have always been solid performers and easy to work with. Plus, I have a couple that I received from him in payment for helping him with his cows.

IYO why would you take them off the list?

I prefer the Brangus and Angus Plus for this climate.

OK... Now I am in receiving mode... never heard the term Angus Plus before. What exactly does that mean?

Sorry for asking what ought to obvious.

the calf out of putting an angus bull on brangus cows or vice versa. makes a great critter.

 

[Rustler9]

I believe it's an Angus x Brangus. Takes out a little bit more of the Brahman but still gives you the hybrid vigor of a crossbred. I think I've also heard them called Super Angus.

Never heard of Super Angus. Have heard of Super Baldies. Red Angus Assn recognizes the Angus Plus.

When I was in college ...way back when... oh never mind... I worked off and on in a custom rod shop that one of my friends dad owned.

There was a sign on the wall... "If you've learned something new today take the rest of the day off." Underneath someone pencilled in, "this does not apply to the inexperienced".

Keep 'em coming, please.
