Pro tip: refer to them as "beeves" or "beef critters". | |||

Mrs.BurtonRW had a herd of black angus until her father died and we got rid of all but one, which we kept as a pet. There usually had about a dozen or so on roughly 30 acres of fenced pasture. They pretty much took care of themselves. Only had to keep water in the barn and made sure they had hay when snow was on the ground. Easy peasy. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I have had experiences raising several purebred and crossbreed cattle. For the most part an Angus and a Charolais, Hereford or Simmental will all taste the same. Most of the characteristics of beef are derived from consumption. We had great success with simmental and limousine cattle. If you are located in the south I'd suggest at least an eighth of Brahman for heat tolerance. Many continental European breeds have been crossed with Brahman to achieve "hybrid vigor" achieving a superior offspring by mating two different parents. Good examples would be Simbrah, Brangus, Charbray and Beefmaster. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money."

Limosin beef was some of the most tender, and tasty I have ever eaten. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousin_cattle __________________________ More blessed than I deserve. http://davesphotography7055.zenfolio.com/f238091154 | |||
