[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8086"] Can't readily think of a reason to go with a fullblooded Chi, unless you want to add some frame size to cows --- but there are other, better breeds that can give you frame size if that's what you're after. I like Beefmasters very much but I'm down in southeast Texas. I would think that they are more suited to my area and the south or west generally, rather than the northeast. I would think that the 50% Brahman in Beefmasters is something most cattlemen in the north would want to avoid. You will take a hit at the sale barn for "eared" calves and I don't think you can expect that Beefmasters will handle the cold and snow quite as easily as say Angus, Shorthorn, Hereford. Of course it does get pretty cold in Colorado and that's where the foundation herd owned by the Lasater family now thrives! [/QUOTE]
