[QUOTE="J. T., post: 143879, member: 289"] I follow the KISS philosophy in most all matters of life. That's Keep It Simple, Stupid. My humble opinion is that there are a few breeds that can actually contribute to the US beef industry. I believe we already have the ingredients necessary to produce "super calves". Of course, the type of cattle being produced depends on the market in which they are intended. If someone wants to produce calves that will all be destined for slaughter, using a crossbred cow bred to a Continental bull might be the way to go. If producing replacement females is the goal, using straight British (Hereford x Angus) or British X Brahman breeding would be a good choice. All breeds have something that they can bring to the table, but there are a few tried and true breeds that have proven themselves over and over for decades and even centuries. Using the genetics from these breeds can produce the type of cattle for a particular market if thought and planning go into the breeding and you have a goal in mind of what the end product should be.
