[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 33584, member: 43"] I'm glad there is so much breed variety to choose from in the cattle business, even though it seems to sometimes make emotions run too high, and they all seem to have plusses and minuses. In the last two years I've had my first direct experiences with both Angus (black) and Limo (red) bulls. I have Beefmaster and tigerstripe cows and bought an Angus bull that looked darn good but he turned out to be unsatisfactory on several accounts: libido, ability to thrive in my environment with no better treatment than the cows, and very average at best progeny --- and he's no longer around. But I'm sure as heck not knocking Angus on the basis of my one direct experience; that particular bull just turned out to be a lot sorrier than he looked when bought. I hope my new Brangus bull will yield better results, and I know already that his apparent libido is higher! Have three real good looking Limo/Beefmaster cross calves, thanks to the neighbor's big Limo bull that walked through a pretty fair fence and sort of shoved my young Angus bull out of the way, so to speak. I guess he was the stereotypical Limo bull. He got pretty ornery with me and had been a constant source of grief for the neighbor and roamed all over creation (not just to my place) so he too has gone to the great meat grinder in the sky. But he was a real impressive looking bull, with a helluva butt, and sure threw some nice calves over the last few years. The one bull calf I have out of him has a helluva butt too, and he reminds me of "Teddy Bear" over on Michelle's website. Yet all three of these calves, at least for now, have very Hereford-like dispositions (perhaps owing to their Beefmaster side?). I've seen a lot of Angus calves over the years, and I sure don't think that I'd say that they have no arse at all. There are a lot sorry looking cattle around in all breeds, maybe Michelle just hasn't seen enough of the good Angus. But if I had my druthers I'd like to make make all order buyers and their clients color blind, and then I might try to develop a strain of burnt orange Shorthorns! [/QUOTE]
