[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9404"] > I'm just curious as to what > everyone's choice breed is and > why. You will probably get as many answers on favorite breeds as there are livestock breeds! lol...we all have our favorites depending on the operation we run; exposure; locality and our personal likes...I like the South Devon breed...I do run a mixture..Hereford/Beefmaster cross; Limo and Hereford and Hereford/Angus but then I started using a Registered Black South Devon with Leachman genetics and bought a pureblood heifer and a Tarantaise/South Devon cow from them and used a Black South Devon bull and then went on to purchase my own bull who is BLack South Devon and Black Angus....the reason I like the South Devon influence even tho they aren't a well recognized breed is their disposition in both bulls and cows, very well mannered even when they have been ranged...also they have low birth weights but high weaning rates and their calves are awesome when my cross commercial cows are bred to the bulls...my new bull I won't know about till next spring but I am sure he will do well.....so as far as any particular breed it's more what you like yourself and what fits into your operation...everyone usually has a favorite!
