[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1776475, member: 40587"] You are 100% right, Rmc. Mostly you see the northwestern and Canadian "experts" on here calling all cattle except "their" cattle "inferior" or "poor type",etc. Most of what they have...and makes sense in places where they have more snow and cold weather than we have sunshine down here.. are Continental types: Charolais, Simmental, Limosin, Gelbiev, etc. Well, there is hardly anything "superior" about them, and in most of the country they won't bring as much as black cattle, except the ones like Simm and Lim, that have been "bred up" from Angus to turn them black. They may or may not "do better" than say Brangus, Braford, Charbray, Simbrah, Gerts or Beefmasters. From watching these forums, seems like the majority of these " cattle experts" don't have the innovative, forward-thinking, open -mindedness to have even tried. But none of the cattle any of these northern keyboard cowboys have would be worth a sh*t in the deep south. They would be "poor type" and any that might have survived in good enough condition to raise a calf in the swamps of Louisiana or Florida, or the sweltering 100% humidity and insects below the "gnat line"of south Ga or LA (lower Alabama), would bring cull prices and so would their calves.
