[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 318340, member: 2306"] No offense VanC, but forget breeds for a moment, and look at it like this....if you take good deep-bodied, easy fleshing frame 3-4 Galloway cows, and cross them with a good quality bull built the same way, you're going to have calves that do well in ANY situation. They're going to gain well on grass, or in the feedlot. I really do believe that if you use quality animals on both sides of the equation, it will work. I just can't bring myself to say that one breed is the ultimate cross on the Galloways, because my cow herd has some different flavors, and our half Galloway calves have been very uniform, thick, and fleshy. I've always wanted to try a real tank of a Hereford on some Galloway cows, or a White Shorthorn to make some Blue Belles, but my focus is more on the traits of the specimens, not the breed. [/QUOTE]
