[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 559493, member: 3162"] Climate mostly. I want heavy calves and cows that can produce enough milk for their calves in 110 degree heat. We've seen temps over 107 twice already this year and it has been a mild summer. Once you have your herd established, you can run a market bull over them and do fine even if he is a cold climate animal. Brahma crosses, Beefmaster, brangus, gerts and practically any bos indicus influenced breed does fine here. Right now I am running brangus bulls because I am trying to expand. The public has been hoodwinked so brangus sell well. Eared heifers and replacement cows bring top dollar around here. You take a bit of a hit on eared steers but they weigh significantly more at weaning time. [/QUOTE]
