[QUOTE="JeffMills517, post: 874340, member: 17337"] I have been very confused by many terms used when talking beef cattle. One of which is consistency. Are we talking uniform color, rate of gain, etc. or is there something more? I see no problem with a composite bull being used if the calves are uniform size and color...and perhaps polled. I get the feeling that other things are blown out of proportion...is that just me? I don't have experience breeding cattle on a large scale so I'm no expert. But the composite bull seems to make sense, especially if you are breeding back to cows with some of the same breeds comprising them. i.e, Balancer bull on Angus cows. The main question I have about Stabilizers are why were the Hereford originally used, then bred out...and what is gained from having both Gelbvieh and Simmental in the mix as opposed to just having a SimAngus or Balancer?
