[QUOTE="VanC, post: 472049, member: 3355"] This statement always bothers me. There are thousands of people out there making good money raising non-black cattle, just as I'm sure there are others who are losing money raising black cattle. You get out of it what you put into it, regardless of color or breed.[/quote] I understand. He's right, in most areas black sells at or very near the top. Some say it's a fad that will pass. Maybe, maybe not. It just bothers me when people say hide color determines whether money will be made or lost. There are so many other factors that go into it, one of the biggest being plain old luck. As for your situation, I tend to agree with those that suggested Murray Grey, Hereford, or Red Poll. You might also look into Devons, although they will likely be harder to find. Whatever you decide, I would buy from someone who raises cattle specifically for the grass fed market. It takes a different animal to finish relatively quickly on grass, and there can be big differences within breeds. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
