[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1822992, member: 24816"] Another anecdotal experience of mine is that 20 some years ago, at the beginning of the Angus resurgence, if I would have had the choice of starting new with a whole new cow herd there would have been no question, I would have said Angus all the way, and I pretty much set out in that direction, with Angus bulls and adding Angus females whenever I could. Fast forward to today and if I were starting out again knowing what I know now I would go whole hog for Simmental if going registered and if going commercial, Hereford cows and Simmental bulls. Lots of folks do well with Angus apparently, but my experience wasn’t overly impressive. To the above mentioned rat tails, I have no experience with that so I will definitely defer that to others, but what I can say is that I know it is considered a negative not only in the feedlots but in the bred heifer sales I’ve seen advertising where the cattle are screened before the sale and no rat tails are permitted in those special sales.
