[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1139594, member: 9096"] I think it depends on your goals.. if your goal is to raise beef, you are perfectly fine with crossbred cattle. If you want to sell breeding stock, then it takes a LOT of reading and looking at cows to know what desireable traits are and how to spot quality animals beyond their size, and then it takes selecting bulls that will complement the traits of your cows, as well as improve on where they may have shortcomings.... And once you're there, you'll need to be purebred in order to be able to market them. [/QUOTE]
