[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 147350, member: 1258"] We have had Hereford, Charolais, Red Angus, Simmental Crosses and Highland. The Herefords have been nice but not too popular in our area unless they are crossed with Angus or Red Angus, the Charolais calves although great looking get cold too easy, are too lazy and we've had too many freeze to death. The majority of the Simmental Crosses haven't lasted long due to bags and feet giving up. We like to keep our cows into their teens - when they are only worth 20 -25 cents a pound you don't want to replace them every 6-8 years. The best we have had for us is Red Angus. They are long lasting, good temperments, popular with the buyers, do well in cold weather, don't need much feed and the Red Angus and Black Angus societies do an awesome job at marketing. I know nothing about the Waygu cows you are talking about. Unless you want to do the purebred market which might be good since you have the time to put in I would suggest a Hereford bull. The red and black baldies are popular here. Of course I don't know your area - if most people are breeding Angus around you there is probably a reason for it. ;-) [/QUOTE]
