[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 440723, member: 1683"] DOC, Would you compare the Aubrac and the Irish Black for us ? Is there a place where one breed would excell more or less than the other ? Climate, etc. ?[/quoteuntaken- Inasmuch as both of these breeds are considered "grass efficient" breeds, I would be hard put to make a comparison on feed efficiency and feed conversions without scientific data - - or even data gathered by individual breeders. Insofar as where one breed would excell over the other, I think that your perusal of the information from the breed associations would give you a comparative analysis in a more efficient manner than one person's impressions. My personal "first impressions" of each breed and the individual animals in the breeds was surprisingly similar! They are startling animals, and with each "First Impression" of each breed, I was just sort of mesmerized looking at them. Each breed is a result of closely held genetics (I didn't say "inbred"!) and they both are so consistent in their Phenotype, as well as their Genotype, that I just stood and gawked at them the first time I saw each breed representatives. I would suggest that you try to go see a breeder of each breed and see for yourself. Also, inasmuch as I am doing some work in a small way for BOTH breeds, I feel it would be a conflict of interest to specify one over the other. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
