[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 146880, member: 1683"] As a general 'across-the-board' answer to questions such as, "What line should I get?" or "What Family is 'best'" "What Bull is BEST?" I would say there is no 'BEST' except in the eyes of the breeders who make an acceptable income from their use. That discussion degenerates into the same catagory as "Chevy or Ford" or "Coca-Cola or Pepsi Cola". How about - - The Chicago White Sox or the - - -California or Los Angeles or LA or Anaheim Angels? The long and short of it all is there is no BEST or RIGHT or CORRECT anything! There are greater differences (good and bad) between individuals WITHIN any breed than there are between GOOD individuals between breeds. My suggestion would be this: Contact the Breed Associations of as many Breeds as you wish - three or eight or 20 - and read all the information on that particular breed. You can find them all in the green pane at the CattleToday web site under "Associations". You will be filled with information and ideas and enthusium so that you will have to lie down and take a short nap. Then when you wake up, take a deep breath and flip a coin. If you are happy with the way it turns out (heads or tails) go for it. If you are UNhappy with the way it turns out (heads or tails) you probably have already made up your mind anyway. Go for it. Just be darned sure that you are informed enough in advance so that you have confidence in what you are doing. Get educated. Keep an open mind and learn everything you can. It's a BLAST! :D DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
