[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1503283, member: 22295"] In my opinion I see more consistent quality in horned cattle and I find verification for that when I visit one of the local sale barns. For instance one reputable breeders commercial steers will sell within 5 dollars a hundred of the best blacks. The polleds will be 15 dollars a hundred back. Again though you don't know if the cow qualities they are out of is the same. I see more inconsistency in polled sire groups and blame it on the fire and ice matings that many have used. Most horned breeders around here are either L1 or the Deewalls linebred cattle and they tend to sire very consistent sire groups. Again it don't matter what breed you decide to go with you need to be carreful in selection. [/QUOTE]
