[QUOTE="BC, post: 887931, member: 67"] Santa Gertrudis and Beefmasters were both developed in that area. The cows from those breeds can be bred a number of different ways to produce an acceptable market calf. Use an English type bull (Angus, Hereford, etc) and you get an acceptable steer calf and a heifer calf that can be kept for a replacement or sent to feedyard. Use a continental bull (Charolais, Simmental, Gelbvieh, Limousin, etc) on a Gert or Beefmaster cow and you get a tremendous feeder calf. You breed that cow back to another American breed bull (Santa Gertrudis, Beefmaster, Brangus, etc) and you get a super replacement heifer and a steer that will sell ok, just not at the top of the market.
