[QUOTE="ShuterSunset, post: 728777, member: 7662"] My family has been raising Red Poll Cattle for many years. They are a good breed for grass fed programs, make good cows, the beef is really tender and they have pretty calm temperaments. Although we are in the middle of Indiana and the cows are surrounded by corn and the calves get fed corn, we have really seen an increase in interest by people doing the grass-fed thing. We also take a pretty good dock at the black dominated salebarns in the area and consequently have gone to selling ours for replacements or for freezer beef. They work pretty well for us. I am also doing a little bit of experimenting with some crossbreeding with the Red Polls as the base. If I can keep the maternal qualities and add some additional muscle and some additional performance traits, I think that a well designed cross with Red Polls in it will work well in a commercial setting as well.
