[QUOTE="Sugar Creek, post: 92024, member: 1383"] I have both Red Polls and Angus here on our farm. The Red Polls have better dispositions as a rule, have more milk and their calves are very consistant with little calving problems. The Angus are better muscled and the calves are blockier and vigorous. These breeds do resemble one another aand share some characteristics but are actually unrelated. The Red Poll is a very pure line of cattle dating back to mid 19th century England with very little admixture of other breeds. When crossed you get a lot of hybrid vigor in the calves despite the similarity in the appearance and characteristics of the two breeds. I really like the Red Polls, primarily for their gentle nature and the star tenderness gene they carry for their meat. [/QUOTE]
