i have none yet. i'm still trying to get to know mine. i have angus/charolais and hereford/beefmaster. so i guess mine are beef cows. i meet someone at church last week she raise's black angus and has a small bull that she wants to bred. would it be bad to add one more mix to the hereford/beefmaster cross??? otherwise i'm very happy with how my cows are doing? oh as for taste of meat yet . not there yet either.

[jhm47]

Simmental---Good dispositions, growth, great mothers, great beef
Angus---Great beef, good mothers, good feed conversion

Cross the two, and you have a super beef animal

All in all I think any cow that throws beautiful calves, has a great temper, and is a great mother is my favorite I do like larger frames though, and I'm partial to simmental and charolais
