[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1616226, member: 33533"] Well having been in red polls a while i can tell you if you select the right genetics they can do everything other breeds can do and more. Heaps of carcass comp wins, blind taste test wins, interbreed show winners, highest ema in the bull category a few years in a row at local shows. Problem is there is some poor breeding and poor genetics around that give them a bad name. Temperament can be the best of the best where i can walk up to a bull in the paddock and get his ear and lead him all the way to the yards. But there is some real nut jobs too that we have had to cull. If you can get your hands on semen from the Eurimbla stud i have found they are the best around. I know they have three or four bulls where semen is available for export. But if you go into red polls be prepared to find it hard to sell your animals unless you find the right market. I have found a lot of older cattle people have fond memories of red polls and have sold them bulls and they have loved them all over again. [/QUOTE]
