[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 825396, member: 694"] I didn't I have never said a straight bred will perform better than a crossbred I said ther are three esential breeds Angus Brahman and Hereford in the US, I have never said that a straightbred will produce a superior product to a crossbred. I still believe there are three essential breeds. I believe all three will be inferior in one aspect or the other as a straigt bred calf the Brimmer will take the hit for the hide and tenderness( that I believe is a bunch of BS as most Americans couldn't tell the difference in a steak from one versus an Angus). The Hereford will take a hit here for being red and having less growth than the crossbred calf. The Angus will bring good money at the barn you just left the pounds somewhere cause they are not going to make it to the barn with you. Unless your selling seedstock you are one of the people PT Barnum was looking for. All three as straightbred will loose you money versus using a combination of the three. I think a Hereford over Brangus is great or the other way around, some of the best calves I ever saw was an Angus over Brimmer cows and a true F1 Brangus. I have never had a straight bred Hereford put the pounds on a calf that the crosses did and they have been eating grass here for quite a long time. The Herefords were producing seedstock the crosses were producing more money. Yes the 20% that I retained did sell good, the rest were loaded to go to the barn they never brought the money the crossbred did even if they sold for more per pound. The crossbred calves always out weaned them. [/QUOTE]
