[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1662506, member: 39122"] Most of us here in Arkansas calve March-May or Sept.-Nov. I think the south poll people have done a good job selecting cattle that perform well with very little inputs and adaptable to their enviroment. There are some in the breed that might be too small but most are a moderate type cow. I think they'd do good with a terminal Angus bull on them. I'm not much further south than Greg Judy and a similar enviroment and I think south polls or beefmaster or a combination of the two would work best here. The south polls were actually developed in Alabama by Teddy Gentry of the band Alabama. Just like foundation beefmasters, they perform well in the heat and humidity of the south, perform well on fescue, are long living and producing, and disease and insect resistant, and are gentle. Both breeds pretty much check all of the boxes for my enviroment. Run a good terminal black angus bull on them and you'll have good marketable calves. I've been looking at heifers from both breeds,it's hard to pay what most are wanting for quality heifers when you can go to the sale barn and buy a good cow/calf pair for the same price and know you have a live calf now. But with sale barn cattle come a variety of problems from time to time. [/QUOTE]
