[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4538"] lets not get into a pissing contest. In some management and marketing systems systems each has a place. It's a matter of using what is right for your system and ultimately the consumer. In our marketing group, the feedlots that buy the calves prefer a high degree of British influence, only enough continental to get frame, and so little Brahman that it is masked by the primary breed type. That's our market. I've spoken with other folks in the same type of marketing group in this area, their buyers prefer a high degree of continental. Obviously the feedlots that each group deals with has a differnt market they are providing for. I personally prefer a quarter Simmenthal or Gelbvieh, a quarter Hereford and half Angus for marketing. F1's of either british breed and either of the continentals for momma cows, or F1 Angus Hereford and use either a proper angus pull, or when they get more available and proven either Balancer or Simangus bulls. One thing I find strange, in this area, any Brahman influence is heavily discounted that includes Brangus, Gerts, etc. But pure trumpet eared, humped shouldered baby or weaned light weight calves consistantly outsell everything, including black Angus from registered herds. dun > "I will not discuss breed > preferences anymore..." > Then why did you bother to post > the comment I questioned?
