[QUOTE="T-Bro, post: 609888, member: 3850"] Next couple of years, I will be retaining heifers. Which bull would be best? Santa Gertrudis, Brangus, or Beefmaster. I want some ear in my cows, so it will be one of these three. (I am leaning towards the Gert). I have researched and found plenty of info on the attributes and good qualities of each breed. What I can't find is problems in the breeds, "bad stuff" that I should know before I make my final decision. Such as, Brangus can be overprotective and wild. Polled or horned doesn't bother me either way. I don't mind working with horned cattle. This bull will be bred to Texas Longhorns, then the retained heifers to a terminal continental breed. Everyone wants to tell you what is great about their breed. Someone tell me what is bad about these three. I know that there is variation within breeds, I am looking for general, overall cons. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
