[QUOTE="Jovid, post: 644370, member: 2979"] I can tell you a few things about Red Polls and meat quality based on our experiences. 1. The meat is more tender than most of the other breeds. 2. They will marble just like the other British breeds. 3. Fat content is based on what and how much you feed them 4. Live weight to carcass ratio averages 65% 5. We have a waiting list for people wanting locker beef. 6. Our steers finish on a modified intake low fat ration and grass at 1,100 pounds in 14-15 months and grade choice or higher. 7. We do not finish our steers on just grass but several of our breeders do. Now for the other quality traits of Red Polls. 1. Very docile as the make a very good family breed 2.Cows excel on just grass 3.Cows are great mothers and produce plenty of rich milk. 4.Cows lay down and have their calves with very few problems [/QUOTE]
