[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 1324779, member: 1683"] Beef breeders in the United States and Canada have "experimented", so to speak with improving their beef cattle for - give or take - about 140 years, using Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, (British Breeds) plus Highland and a few others, and Continental Breeds, (not as concentrated as the British Breeds), and they have improved the genetics of those breeds so spectacularly to this date - - I am curious as to why a young breeder (or a new breeder) would think to reach out to an "unknown" breed such as Senepol, or many of the other [i]bos indicus[/i] types - unless they had a bank full of capitalization and just wanted to experiment with their breeding ideas instead of focusing on making a profitable beef enterprise. Not to say that using or crossbreeding any combination of cattle breeds will not make a profit, BUT -the odds will be against you for a long time! Just saying. If Profit is your goal, use the proven breeds - which 99% of the tough genetic planning has been accomplished FOR YOU. Make a good, solid money-making BU$INE$$ decisions using the help that Breeders proceeding you have already done, and don't risk your capital on Pie-In-The-Sky 'wonderments'. You will spend a lifetime of not making much progress in your learning process. Ag Colleges, Foundations, and USDA have done a lot more than you can do in ten lifetimes. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
