[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1819949, member: 22295"] Each breed has their place. Some buyers in this area don’t want more than 25% Continental in what they buy. . An issue I have with breeds today is they have left what separated them from other breeds and now using the same selection criteria of other breeds. There is no advantage to switching. Many are similar in type and size. Many have went extreme on BW. Then those that have added the black color done away with the hybrid vigor gained by crossing. I have looked a many breeds in recent years. Tried Gelbveigh and it didn’t work for us. Talked to a Charolais breeder last winter. Looking for the older type that feeders liked so well. He told me they were gone. What he offered is very similar in type and size with the other breeds. No advantage to using them. We have found polled Herefords are like the other breeds in size and type. Some horned Herefords offer what we need and our market wants. It is hard to find Angus bulls in this area with a BW of 85-95 lb like we desire. [/QUOTE]
