[QUOTE="Galloways1, post: 902516, member: 13016"] At the risk of some saying I am pimping my breed, I will reply to your post. You say you finish out most of your own cattle, so feed efficiency is important. You want heterosis, on an angus or angus cross influenced herd. I can assume you want to maintain good carcass traits, to get premiums were applicable. I would suggest Galloway. You will maintain your black hide, no need to worry about no hair. They have no angus in them, so you get tremendous heterosis. They have high marbling, while trimming off excess backfat. Carcass yields are in the low to mid 60%, with most being YG 1s and 2s. The Galloway will achieve this on less feed per pound of gain than most cattle. The heifer mates are highly sought after as replacements, as they are very maternal and extremely feed efficient.
