[QUOTE="dustinsinger, post: 701467, member: 13336"] To answer the question of why I am not looking at the popular angus cross right now, I am looking at the simmental for the additional growth characteristics that I think I can get from this side. On the cow side, I guess it is just personal preference. We are almost completely black in this area There are plenty of good black cattle to be found around here too. I guess I am just tired of seeing every black cow in this part of the country kept and called angus, no matter how crappy of an animal it is. I see everything from holstein/black 'angus' crosses to charlois smoke crosses, all market as "angus" because thats the magic word in this part. Let me be clear.....I think angus is a great breed......but I just get the feeling that at some point down the road, people in this part of the country are going to get very skeptical of anything called an angus cross because of all the garbage that people are keeping and marketing as angus cross breeding stock. IF that begins to happen, I want to be the guy that has a reputation for having great cattle without the angus buzzword. [/QUOTE]
