[QUOTE="turning grass into beef, post: 478782, member: 5195"] In my opinion you can find good, thick, stout, meaty bulls in almost any beef breed here in Canada. Don't judge a particular breed based on "the average". Talk to the breeders you are considering buying from. Ask them how they manage their cattle, what their goals are, and how they are trying to achieve those goals. Find breeders that manage their cattle like you manage yours (if a breeders cows [b]require[/b] grain in order to maintain their condition and you make your cows go without grain, then don't buy bulls from him). You should be able to find breeders that run their cattle like you run yours, no matter what color you decide to go with. Yes it is true that color plays a part in the sale price of your calves but quality is more important. Also if you retain your heifer calves for breeding then quality is extremely important [/QUOTE]
