[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5186"] Unless you want to get into registered stuff, a good crossbred with Angus/Hereford/or Shorthorn and a little Brahman for the heat should make excellent momma cows. Or something like Simbra or Gelbrah bred to Angus. I'm prone to using Angus (we prefer the real ones, Reds) for the carcass quality. But as always, start with good cows, as good as you can afford, a couple fewer of higher quality are better then more of lesser quality. Consider AI to maximize your potential and investment.
