[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 122002, member: 2306"] Breed popularity is one of the oldest arguments in the cattle business. Bottom line - whatever works in your environment, and especially, whatever makes you money, is the best breed for you. In our little corner of Alberta, with 6-7 months of winter with foot upon foot of snow and lots of days of -30 F temps, slick-haired cattle are not the best choice. Galloways, Highlands, Welsh Blacks, I've seen 'em all grzing through deep snow while my Tarentaise X Angus cross cows were huddling in the bush. A buddy of mine tried raising purebred Brahmans a few years back. Their first winter was a wreck - the bull froze his nuts off and two cows froze their teats, bad. Good looking cattle in their own right with plenty to offer - just thrown in to something they didn't have a chance at. So like I said, whatever you can make a living at, more power to ya. :) [/QUOTE]
