[QUOTE="andybob, post: 910033, member: 2703"] Environment has been the primary consideration, when I started in the harsh bushveld environment there was no logic in breeding temperate breeds which could not cope with the harsh tropical conditions. The Tuli breed chose me as they out performed all the other breeds and crosses I started with, while producing a carcase equal to Aberdeen Angus. I used the breed again when I lived in NC where they thrived on rough grazing on old cotton fields around Raeford town. At present I am managing in England where we run Native strain Aberdeen Angus and Hereford as the types adapted to the temperate climate, all grass reared and direct sold through the on farm plant and butchery.
