[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 619806, member: 8978"] Dixie: I'll try to answer. Obvious pros: The market wants an Angus or Angus influenced calf, preferably black, for one reason...the feedlot, packer, retailer make more money on him. The angus/crossbred cow is tough,low maitenance, maternal, fertile and raises a desirable feeder animal. The Angus bull doesn't need a lot of pampering and is very fertile. And now for the "cons"(in my opinion): New mothers can be a bit snuffy. Some Angus tend to be a bit light boned They kick a lot [/QUOTE]
