[QUOTE="ArmyDoc, post: 647121, member: 6832"] Thanks for your input! Beefmasters was one of the breeds I looked at initially. And I haven't fully ruled it (or any breed) out of the question. Reading their respective breed association pages, the beefmaster and Santa-Gertrudis seem to both bederived from herford, shorthorn and brahman stock, but Santa-Gertrudis later states that they are 5/8ths short horn and 3/8 Brahman. Can you clarify the difference between these two breeds? Also, you mentioned that the beefmaster "come in slick and red". The ones on the breed association site are sure a pretty group. Do you know if their slick coat is caused by the same gene as is the senepol's slick coat, and if it is inherited the same way? My main reason for leaning toward Red Angus is that they seem to be discounted less at the sale barn. I don't have enough experience to judge for my self, but what people tell me is that around here, Black Angus is "king", but (presumably registered) Red Angus does ok. Black animals are next and then anything not black. Having a significant amount of ear also seems to be a strike against you. [/QUOTE]
