[QUOTE="SIMMGAL, post: 1396447, member: 26548"] Personally I would recommend Simmental, but maybe I'm biased! :lol2: I think that in order to start a quality show herd, it is ideal to focus on making/buying good cows first. Its generally easier to turn a good production cow into a show animal producer than trying to turn a show animal producer into a good production cow. Generally, but not always. Either way, you need a good, strong foundation. Starting with registered Simmental or Angus would be something to consider because you can either use purebred bulls to get purebred calves and do breed shows, or breed them to clubby bulls and get your show steer/crossbred aspect of things. Lots of people use Angus or Simmi based cows as a base for the club calf deal. It all depends on where you want to go with it! Good luck! I know that was a VERY over-simplified version, but that's just my :2cents: ! [/QUOTE]
