[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 926343, member: 18682"] Howdy, I have worked around cattle for quite sometime, both beef and dairy. I have wanted to get a few beef to raise for the freezer and a few extras to raise to sell.I have seen the different breeds and their attributes and faults, and not been happy enough with any one breed enough to want to invest in any particular breed.I have handled everything from Simmental, Herefords, Angus, Charolais, Limosin, etc, and all sorts of crosses in between, and there was always something that I admired about each breed, but also things that made one want to send them to the butcher on the early side!! Whether it was wildness, (lots of fence fixing because they always crashed it) lack of muscling, over fat, or whatever. I may possibly have an opportunity to aquire a couple Speckle parks depending on what happens with lady's calf crop this spring, and if she has enough heifers. I also have an opportunity to possibly aquire a piedmontese heifer along the way, but never having dealt with either of these breeds I would like input from those who have raised / handled them, and what they think of them, from health, temperment, cuttability, survivabilty, calving etc. Any feedback would be appreciated!! thanks- Nite Hawk [/QUOTE]
