Hands down Randalls are my favorite. Mine are so laid back and easy to work with. They forage good, are disease resistant, rarely need birthing assistance, and are tri-purpose. It doesn't hurt that they're easy on the eyes too.

My favorite that I have actually had were really mutts. Bald faced brindle, which was a mix of Hereford, Brahama and Beefmaster. To pick a breed that I would like to have would be Normande, hands down. They are primarily a dairy breed, but are longer in the loin and finish on grass for beef.

Low Line Angus and my small statured Scottish Highlands, I like the small sized beef as it works well with my grassfed philosophy, and the smaller statured beef is less intimidating to those buying a half or whole for their own personal use. Temperments are excellent and you need less acreage for to raise a wee bonny herd! Plus they are extremely hardy.....a cross of the two works well.

Just got my Jersey pair this weekend and I absolutely love them. They are perfect for our family's personality. Plus we're not really milk drinkers but we definitely do a lot with cream!
