[QUOTE="63DH8, post: 273371, member: 4679"] Aw man! I was going to use that, you wise wascel! :D AngusLimoX, the White faced Hereford are popular around here, as is the angus breed. limousines are around too, but I haven't seen them nearly as much as the others. I have "some" experience with beef cattle, but not much. After my father retired from the Navy, we raised a few head of Herefords and one angus/jersey mix. I didn't like walking into that situation knowing as little as we did. Prior to that, my sister wanted a milk cow. I tried to talk the family out of that because none of us knew anything about cattle, and I knew I was going to get stuck with taking care of an animal that would restrict my freedom. Sure enough, that cow got mastitis when she took off through a bunch of blackberry bushes! She cut one of her nipples and it got infected. Her udder got hard in that one quarter. Yours truly had to clean the wound several times a day and keep it drained. None-the-less, it cost her a nipple. I felt that should not of happened. It could have been prevented if we knew more about cattle care. I'm not a softy where butchering an animal for food would bother me. However, I don't like to see things suffer for nothing.
