[QUOTE="UG, post: 59775, member: 714"] I must admit that when I read the Salers' breed association promotional literature I think I need to get into the Saler's business too. However, this may be a case of "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is." Like the previous posts I too have heard horror stories of high-headed, nutty Saler cows. I also know of a large commercial producer who used Saler bulls "only once." I don't recall what he didn't like about the cattle but he won't use them again. What is also concerning to me is that over the past 10 years it seems like there are significantly less Saler breeders out there, during a time when some other Continental breeds like Gelbvieh, Simmental, and Braunvieh are holding their market share or even gaining. It tells me that the Salers must not be working as well, at least in most operations, as some of the other breeds. Another side note, I believe that Dave Nichols in Iowa used to run Salers in addition to his Angus and Simmental cattle. However, I'm not so sure he has many, if any Salers still around since I don't recall him promoting Saler cattle in recent years. Hmmm...I wonder why not? [/QUOTE]
