[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1140085, member: 9096"] Good lord.... not THIS AGAIN!! Olivia, I'm sorry, we've had a couple people who other people couldn't get along with... And it seems to always get started on good topics. Personally, I don't find much to like on the pictures just posted. Whereabouts do you live? I'd say go to the state fair, or any other cattle showing place, preferably where there's lots of different breeds, and see what you like. I like to see lots of meat on a beef animal. If you like herefords and Angus, you're starting out with a breed that already has an extensive reputation, but also a fiercely comptetitive showing and breeding market... If you go with a lesser known breed, you lose out on breed reputation and thus marketability of your product. Speaking for myself, I really like the look of Gelbvieh cattle, and will always pick Reds over Blacks. Shorthorns can be really nice, and can work well in showing, but there is a great gap between the successful showing shorthorns and the successful BEEF shorthorns. Whatever you start with, get something that's pretty easy to work with and docile to start out. I'll leave you with one of my best pictures of a heifer who's turned into a heck of a cow, She's a Gelbvieh/Shorthorn/Hereford [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_0326-adj.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
