[QUOTE="dun, post: 30123, member: 34"] It seems that even though the association does market them as a good beef breed, all of their rhetoric seems to be overshadowed by the club calf/show types. Even 20 years ago I had to look long and hard to find some decent straighbred cows. Ended up buying some 4-H kids project cows. Seems like the showring has gotten even more invasive since then. If you would want an all British cow herd, a 3 way cross of Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford would be mighty hard to beat. Pretty close to the maximum possible heterosis, good quality carcass, and all of the other traits that those three breeds bring to the table. Through in a terminal sire, limo, Simmenthal, Charolais, Gelbvieh and you should get some really top calves that will yield and grade. Of course that's just one persons opinion, and we all know what opinions are like. dun [/QUOTE]
