[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5197"] I am partial to Angus, but not because that is the only breed I have experienced. I would rather see a person do a good job with another breed than just have Angus for the sake of Angus. Of all the breeds I have had experience with, Angus is by far the most versatile and complete. The current popularity of the breed doesn't hurt either. I have nothing against crossbreeding, and buying cheaper cows and breeding them to a GOOD Angus bull has it's merits. If money isn't a huge issue, spend the little more and buy Angus females. If you are on a very tight budget, buy cheaper cows and spend an extra $500 on your bull. I have customers in the States who have good Angus cross females for sale. Or there are many sales to attend if you prefer. The 3 best breeds in my opinion to cross with Angus are, in no particular order, Hereford, Gelbvieh, and Charolais. The type of Angus bloodlines would determine which breed would be best suited. If you would like any more opinions, just ask. Jason Trowbridge Southern Angus Farms Alberta Canada [email=trow@attcanada.net]trow@attcanada.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
