[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 30142"] I know I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but I believe that there is a greater proportion of shorts with double star for tenderness--thus potentially they have more tender meat than other breeds. I know they are not the smartest cattle I've ever worked with (Simmies take that prize) but are generally amenable to handling. There are two herdbooks--appendix (aka domestic purebred) and non-appendix (aka fullblood) so sometimes you have to watch for that. Some of them have very straight hocks and shoulders, thus some are not good on their wheels. Some have really bad suspension on their udders. What would I crossbreed them with? Maybe Simmies! Of course, I'm not even considering bos indicus to be honest. [/QUOTE]
