Hey Dun or Arnold I was reading an old cattle book, the cattlemen were just really getting into the imports . There were several references made to the sailor breed. Where are they from, meat or milk.?

Your statements are living proof that:paul swisher":2mtwm35y said:I would think, depending on how far back you want to go, it refers to a dwarf polled cow the vikings carried on their ships so they would have fresh meat. This dwarft polled breed was crossed with a red English ox and became what we call Angus today.

Oxen are steers specially trained to work in the fields. Much stronger than the average draught horse or mule, oxen are also hardier and easier to keep

The docile castrated male is used as a draft animal in many countries. Oxen are used for food in some areas. The term is also applied to a castrated male of any cattle breed. See also aurochs, yak.
Not saying you can't use other cattle for draft animals.
No one said anything about success. Of course angus are successful but where did they come from? They developed over many years starting as I described from a sailors black animal and a british red animal. That is why they have a red gene.
