[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 34555, member: 245"] Just because an animal thrives under someone else's management, doesn't mean that it will thrive under your own. Different climates, different pasture types and different markets will dictate what kind of cattle a person aims to grow. I, personally like, black polled animals or black baldies with good thick haircoats and moderate size (1100-1200 lbs for cows). Black, because that's what I get the best price for at the market. Good hair coats to get us through our nasty winters. Moderate size for feed efficiency. My neighbor runs Simmental/Charolais crosses. Many of his cows would be 2000+ lbs and he weans most of his calves at close to 700 lbs. His idea is more calf=more money. Big cows have enough bulk to stay warm in winter. He also feeds twice as much as me and gets less $/lb than I do. Which of us is right? Depends on who you talk to. Obviously, if each of us didn't think he was right, he would change his ways.
