[QUOTE="linbul, post: 640829, member: 10356"] Thank You all for the prompt replies! As for the Piedmontese, there are not many of them around here (Central/Eastern Europe), so the genetics are probably not very improved... They do not perform very well - there is a good source of information in english [url]http://www.cschms.cz/english/index.php?page=results[/url] About the packers opinion - most of them haven't seen anything different than diary meat. Actually the only possible significant premuim is from the restaurants we contacted for the purebred Angus or Limousine x Angus 50% cross. Maybe in the future... More important for us is the handling of the herd in "open range" conditions. It's gonna be a large herd and possible losses of cattle would outbid any price premium we could gain. If I knew what is the right breed for the conditions I wouldn't ask. Just lack of regional data to compare with. [/QUOTE]
