[QUOTE="Engler, post: 928994, member: 4110"] all 3 are good options, somewhere. I think I saw that you are in Montana. Eared cattle have their place, but close to the Canada/US border probably isn't one of them. People say they'll work up there, I don't know either way, but probably not the ideal match of cattle to environment. With that I'd say bad idea on the tiger stripe. What do you want to do with the calves? If you just want to raise feeder calves the baldy would probably be a better bet to get some maternal heterosis. If you're looking at raising breeding stock then it could be a coin flip. I don't know about the Angus pedigrees that you tossed out so I can't give you an opinion on that vs. a baldy. Whatever way you go I would say get all 3 the same. That will be easier to manage and have 3 similar calves to sell vs 3 individuals. [/QUOTE]
