[QUOTE="SmokeStackFarms, post: 476117, member: 7061"] I can relate to where you are; Cows as pets--expensive pet.--get a dog--no sarcasm. I am @ some of the same cross-roads you are --ultimate breed decision. Homework has brought me to "not purebred" but "crossbred". Crossbreeding yields some dynamic results, if you are trying to build a a great cow.([i]I just opened up a whole argument thread-just don't get too much off his subject[/i]) My goals are to build a marketable,breed that exhibits many of the traits of a few breeds that I see others working. I love the polled Hereford---also the red Angus. This crossbreed can now go into different directions----of which I'm very much in hard decision process ,too. Some of my PH/RA were bred back to Reg. RA=3/4. Very nice.Nothing wrong with this by-product. Some of my neighbors are convinced that I should breed the ph/RA to a BRANGUS. Results, I understand, will be blacks, baldies, and some with a "little ear". These folks present a good point, in that Black Angus,& the other breed blends bring significant more to any type of sale. BLACK is very $ hot. I personally like RA---the PH is very important too. [b][i]SO I have given you absolutely NO Direction[/i][/b] I to am listening to all; & appreciating all of your thoughts. [i]I do think SAGE & DUN have some good wisdom to impart. (nothing to take away from anyone else)[/i]{ this information is the only real value I have given} [/QUOTE]
