[QUOTE="Lon, post: 978227, member: 16174"] I visited the guy at lasater ranch. I believe dale was the one. Real nice guy straight spoken doesnt bs alot just gets to the point. My biggest worry would be this though Buckaroo. I dont know for sure as i never raised brangus or beefmaster and not saying they cant competativaly perform in our climate if bred in this area and raised here. That being said i am almost postive you would still recieve a heck of a dock on the calves. Every calf i have seen or heard of seel around here with some ear gets docked substantially for the most part. That is a big deal on your end product to be honest. Now if you had the cows and crossbred them maybe it wouldnt show to much at all but if full beefmaster or brangus it would show some. Dale said thiers shows some leather and ear not alot but still show some. Might want to be able to run on grass and finish if raised them but than i dont know what carcass is like either. I say sure cant hurt nothing to try it as long as buy a small enough scale of them that you dont depend on the calves bringing every possible cent to pay for the cows. Now if you said hey if i was to buy 100 head of these and they was my only cows and i will have to make everything off them to pay for the cow and running it than i would say play it safe and go with something you know works in South Dakota. But if just trying it on a few to try it why the heck not as long as if it failed it didnt break you. [/QUOTE]
