[QUOTE="roxybelles, post: 1699292, member: 42152"] Partially from experience with my grandfather and fathers cows. We’ve had everything from Charolais, Herefords, Angus, Brahman, and their crosses on the farm. The Angus seemed the best all around to deal with. In doing recent research what I have put in the pro column for angus: Earlier fertility Calving ease Marbling Hardiness Milk Disposition Marketability High fertility rates Maternal instinct I’m thinking of eventually trying to sell some cows directly to consumer and cut out the packers (looks like they’re getting the biggest chunk of the profit these days). Angus beef seems to be well known to consumers. There’s been a lot of marketing dollars spent on promoting angus I figure might as well take advantage of that. I am open to any and all suggestions as I am just getting started and want to make the best decisions I can in this endeavor. [/QUOTE]
