[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7623"] I agree with Indiana Gary, the calves that buyers want most of the time are continental breeds (simmental, limousin, charolais, etc.) crossed with brittish breeds (herford, angus, shorthorn, and south devon). Reason being continetal breeds produce high muscling which is good but at the same time the meat supposedly does not marble as well as the brittish breeds. Although the brittish breeds do marble well, they are not usually as well muscled and that's why buyers want the crosses. In agreement with Indiana Gary on using black, but you could use a charolais and get some excellent calves that will sell well too. If you go black I would stay with limousin or simmental, brangus are good too if you don't mind a little ear. [/QUOTE]
