[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1466523, member: 24016"] True to a certain extent in regards to the baldies. I am in NW WI, and here, any white will get you a dock at the barn. Solid red or black sell well, but pretty much anything else will take a hit. The only people in our area who have shorthorns, Herefords, commercial baldies, etc. either sell on the grid/under contract for fats, or make most of their money in seed stock and can justify the hit they take on sale ring marketed calves. I think some good F1s are a great option for a person new to the game. Just let your area markets and overall plan for the herd dictate what specific cross to start with and how to build on it.
