[QUOTE="rain dance, post: 1363543, member: 25835"] That makes sense about the kill buyers since they carry so much more meat relative to body weight then other breeds.I have heard its better to feed them a higher protein ration with less energy then conventional cattle because of having less ability to put on fat. Not sure how much truth there is to that but it make sense feeders not wanting them as much. I have 3 cross caves out of a 2 copy full blood pied bull(the heifer and 2 bull calves). I love how they look and grow on just grass. I'll admit maybe some of it is just of love of how the crosses look but I have thought about the idea of getting a 2 copy bull sometime in the future. I just hate being confined to niche markets or getting docked because they are not the right color or look a little different. [/QUOTE]
