[QUOTE="JeffL916, post: 1742853, member: 42584"] Puzzled, we got the same advice when we were looking and ended up going that route. Purchased a homo polled cow with a 3mo bull calf that we'll trade for a finished steer once he's weaned. Hoping to add another homo polled cow to the mix soon and try to get into a breeding cycle. In a perfect world we'd have a steer to process every year, but we don't have the space for more than just a few cows. We wanted polled mostly because we want our kids to be around the cows with as little worry as possible. Seeing how they fling their heads all around with the flies, I can imagine how devastating a horn could be at head-level with our 8yo!! They're pretty docile so far. The cow is more stand off-ish with her calf, but the steer is easy-going. Sits there and lets the kids pet him while he eats his pellets. Just need to keep reminding them we have dogs to love on, and the steer is destined for the Weber : ) [/QUOTE]
