[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1256284, member: 4786"] I would probaly go with the herferd in your environment, but you would not have much trouble with charolais. We ran straight charolais up until the late 90s when we switched to an angus bull. We keep our own heifers so our cows still have a heavy charolais influince. I have always thought they were fine cows. In my book the downside of char is large frame size (some of ours top 1,700 lb) and too protective of their calf. If we have to do anything with a newborn one person has to watch the cow with a pitchfork. The upside is very few birthing problems and higher weaning weights (at the cost if higher feed intake).
