[QUOTE="andybob, post: 939687, member: 2703"] Breeding red cattle makes the most sense, for those wanting to supply the CAB market, a homogyzous Black Angus bull can be used to produce a terminal black generation. Red gives a wide selection of breeds, for temperate environments there are Red Poll, Red Angus, Devon, Sussex and Hereford, the last two being the best foragers, and with the improvements achieved by dedicated Hereford breeders over recent years, the problems associated with the breed in recent years are fast being selected out. In the southern states, composites such as Santa Gertrudis and Bonsmara, and pure reds including Red Brahman and several red Zebu strains, with a growing number of red Tuli and Mashona being available give a wider choice of adapted dam lines. The next hurdle for ranchers in the south is to develop a market that does not dock Indicus influenced steers. [/QUOTE]
