[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1649733, member: 968"] [USER=16303]@cbcr[/USER] - I don't think the Heritage Sh or Wagyu will give him "show" type animals for 4-H kids. The knowledgeable kids want the current Xbred Shorties with all the color and hair. Wagyu at any % will never cut it for a quality show steer. You gave him good advice "It would be advisable to select a breed that access to genetics would be easy." Murry Grey are not one of the most popular breed, but I have to agree that their crossbreds would be good steers. As mentioned, you need to check around and see what's popular in your area - what brings good money at the auction? Even if you don't plan to sell at auction - that will kind of dictate prices off the farm. I raise top notch PB show type cattle and replacement breeding stock - but, the local steer market affects me because half my calf crop will be males and I castrate 90-95% of them. I don't ship to the local market, but it influences what my feedlot buyer is willing to pay for mine. [/QUOTE]
