[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15581"] I am answering this based upon your statement of meat for your personal use, and not something to sell at auction. In all honesty, and I will probably get yelled at for this, I would recommend a Good (polled?) Shorthorn Momma, and the pappa being either a Shorthorn or Angus or Hereford. If the Pappa is a good Shorthorn, they still have the record for the largest rib-eye of all breeds when slaughtered, your calves will be great and have a LOT of meat. Their meat tasts great, the momma's are often Dual Purpose, and if tame you can actually pull a few quarts daily off for the family use, thought none of my three Shorthorn Cows would let me get that close! Shorthorn Cows and Calves and Bulls are BIG when compared to most other beef breeds.
