[QUOTE="Massey135, post: 887513, member: 17234"] Little to no input cost. Extreme hardiness. Will survive where most beef breeds would parish. With a polled contintental bull over then, they will wean a decent calf. A solid color one at that. Can run 2-3 to 1 vs traditional beef breeds on same acreage. I don't like they way they look nor do I own any, but I would contend because of the high stocking rate you can have with those type cattle and bc they can survive on the poorest quality grass/dirt, there is as much if not more $ to be made running them. ( In Environments that don't provide enough roughage for beefier cattle. If 1 dies you're not out too much $. You should be able to recoup your initial investment in the first calf crop: something that is highly unlikely running higher quality, more expensive cattle. [/QUOTE]
